Outlook Contacts and Caller ID

Im running WinXP with Outlook 2003.  Is there any software available that
would allow me to see who's calling based on the entrys in my contacts list?

My WM6 based cellphone (AT&T Tilt) shows the contact info, and would also
show a picture if I wanted, but can I do this on WinXP?  I'd answer the phone
normally, but I'd like to see a pop-up identifying who's calling.  I know of
no way to download my contacts into my phone (or any other), so I have
limited capability with just the phone.

My computer has a voice modem.

Thanks

does the modem support caller id?

I don't know.  It's a 'Conexant SmartHSFi V92 56K Speakerphone PCI Modem'.  
Is there any place I could find out.  Calling Dell would be useless - I've
found their phone support to be run by a bunch of know-nothings.

google for it... but be aware that if you got the basic modem they offer,
its unlikely to offer caller id. it’s a feature you'll find in more
expensive ones.

Sure.  Dell has the information.  Ten seconds at Google produced this:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/comm/p46851/en/intro.htm

The modem supports caller ID.  However, your software must as well, and
Outlook doesn't, as far as I know.  I don't think Outlok knows anything at
all about modems.

Diane & Brian,

Thanks for the help - I'm going to keep plugging away to see if I can find
somebody's software that I can maybe periodically import my outlook address
book into.
