plenty to choose from but what do they actually do? Not a
lot except to look pretty. Here's a screen saver that serves
a useful purpose as well!

a call display unit. Customize it with your favorite background
image. You can also choose to have it play a sound when
a call comes in. The number display window can de dragged
to any part of your desktop.
Quick Fact: What is Call Display
Call Display is a telephone company service. It provides
the identification information of persons calling your telephone
number. The Call Display information is supplied by the
telephone company between the first and second ring as a
series of special codes. The information includes the time
and date of the call, the telephone number of the caller,
and, in some areas, even caller's name.
fonXL Call Display Screen Saver uses this Call Display
information to provide with detailed information on your
incoming calls. Without Call Display from your telephone
company the screen saver cannot determine the telephone
number of incoming calls.
