Arcosoft announces the update to VONaLink ScreenPop. ScreenPop works with any VoIP phone system based on the open SIP standard, such as Vonage or Asterisk, to prevent the dialing out of any phone number, including long distance and toll calls. Besides providing caller ID features, ScreenPop can reject unwelcome incoming calls based on phone number, name, or partial match.

"One of our ScreenPop customers shared with me how he had some guests stay over at his house, and found some unexpected phone charges on his bill," says Tony Leung, founder of Arcosoft. "He never found out who made those calls, and did not want to inconvenience innocent people with questions." Whether undesired calls are accidentally or intentionally made, ScreenPop restores control to the person paying the bills.

VONaLink ScreenPop works by monitoring network packets via an Ethernet hub. The Windows version supports up to 10 phone lines. ScreenPop runs on Windows Vista, XP, 2003, 2000, and Mac OS X. Priced at $29 USD, evaluation download is available from www.vonalink.com
