If you’re using a DSL high-speed internet connection, you may find that the number of rings in CallClerk is too low. Many countries deliver Caller ID information between the first and second rings. Generally, you should adjust the maximum number of rings in CallClerk – Settings – Modem. However, this is not always possible. To change this value, you can reboot your computer. Also, make sure you set the number of rings between the first and second rings.
Features
Some of the features of CallClerk are limited, while others are open to everyone. Users can limit the length of the messages they wish to save.
