For those who weren’t aware, the TeamSpeak 3 beta has started – infact there has been so much interest the TeamSpeak site ended up using a placeholder page with download links (and just the forum) because there was so much interest (according to their twitter feed, 70 million visitors).

I’ve already struggled and grappled with the server, it never helps matters that I often have to deal with the memory of setting up the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars server – which needed both your local IP (NIC IP) and your external IP (from your ISP). But I have done it now, and feel quit pleased about that. So I’ll provide a quick run through of setting it up at the basic level for those who might still be having trouble (including wading through the forums).

A little help for people who may be using a ZOOM PCI Modem (3025-72-00CF) in Windows 7 64bit – it is possible to use the Windows Vista 64bit drivers for Caller ID (UK). Follow the instructions below:

Vista 64 bit drivers work on windows 7 64 bit for UK caller ID with the following mod:

To get UK Caller ID to work before (or after) installing drivers.

1) Download from zoom.com the driver package V92PCI_VISTAv173047-64bit.exe

2) Unpack this package. (See Additional Resources for tool)

3) In the unpacked folder go into the Vista64 folder & edit Cxt10b46.inf.

In the [CID] section replace

HKR, Responses, “<cr><lf>DATE = “,        1, 93, 00, 00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00

with:
HKR, Responses, “<cr><lf>TYPE = “,        1, 93, 00, 00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00
HKR, Responses, “DATE = “,                1, 93, 00, 00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00

To Give:

[CID]
HKR, EnableCallerID,1,,”at+vcid=1<cr>”
HKR,,CallerIDPrivate,,P
HKR,,CallerIDOutSide,,O
HKR,,VariableTerminator,,    <cr><lf>
HKR, Responses, “<cr><lf>TYPE = “,        1, 93, 00, 00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00
HKR, Responses, “DATE = “,                1, 93, 00, 00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00
HKR, Responses, “TIME = “,                1, 94, 00, 00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00
HKR, Responses, “NMBR = “,                1, 95, 00, 00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00
HKR, Responses, “NAME = “,                1, 96, 00, 00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00
HKR, Responses, “MESG = “,                1, 97, 00, 00,00,00,00, 00,00,00,00

4)  Now run the zoom setup64 program in the Vista64 folder & REBOOT.

Caller ID now should work (I Use PhoneTrayFree).

NOTE(S): this should work for 32 bit also, but file name may differ.
Tried only on Windows 7 64 bit but should work on Vista.
(You cannot edit the .inf file directly in the window 7’s driver repository).
