AIM popup in WMC7?

#1

Time-Warner Cable has been changing stuff, which led me to browse their website
to manage My Services. They offer Caller-ID via a AIM profile. So I signed up and
completed the process. Now phone calls to my TWC digital phone line have the
Caller-ID info sent as a instant message to a AOL IM account.

So the question is how to best have that info pop-up (for a timed interval)
on the display of the WMC7 box when a new message [IM] comes in?

I saw there a W7CallerID, but I don't think it supports AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, Twitter, etc.
I only need a solution for a AIM account.

Why don't you just install a modem in the HTPC and display the caller ID info on the screen with one of the apps for that purpose? I think adding AIM into the mix will just make it more complicated than it needs to be.
