 Where is the mgetty home page?  The site I found in the info file did not
 exist.  Or do you know the mgetty mailing list address?

The following is copied from the info file:

   Also, I have created a mgetty mailing list, for discussion of problems and 
suggestions. You can subscribe by sending a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
(forwarded to Crynwr.com for precessing) and you can send articles to the list 
by sending them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please make sure that the mail address you 
send me is valid - I'm quite sick of getting all list mails bounced back to me 
because one of the addresses doesn't work.

   The mailing list is currently gated bidirectionally into the newsgroup 
de.alt.comm.mgetty. In spite of being in the German language hierarchy, the 
language in the group is English. Posts in German should
be ignored.

   The mailing list is archived on a WWW site, look at
`http://eli.wariat.org/mgarc/index.html' (many thanks to Robert J.Brown, 
[EMAIL PROTECTED])


My experience with the mailing list is that it has very low traffic. When I 
subscribed, I did not get an approval for my subscription, nor articles from 
the list. But when I mailed the list to see if I got their address correctly, 
I was answred that the behaviour I observed is their normal behavior. Furthere 
more, when I once send a real qyestion - I got 2 satifactorly responses in a 
day or two.

Please keep us informed if you will have any information concerning the 
questions you raise.

I did not experienced with the kind of setup that you are talking about.
However, I wonder, perhaps mgetty-voice has something to do with what you want 
?
Have you tried the mgetty mailing list ?

If you look further into it, please keep us informed.

Thank you.

mgetty voice/fax/data

1998-02-25 Thread Paul Miller
Did anyone respond to my email?  I lost a days worth of messages from this
list.

I have a SupraFAXModem 288i v.34 (33.6kbs) and I'm wondering how to   
configure mgetty to distinguish voice/fax/date calls and use caller id. 

From looking at the mgetty logs, mgetty sends AT+FAA=1 to my modem after
the init_chat initialization strings.. +FAA=1 is 'Adaptive Answering' for
class 2 fax modems, which distinguishes between fax and data.  There is
another type of answering called 'Silent Answer Plus' (AT+FAA=4 for class
2) that also determines voice.  What is the deference between silent
answer and adaptive?  Does mgetty support silent answer?  And how can I   
send the +FAA=4 command to my modem instead of +FAA=1?
   
For caller id, what format does mgetty expect it to be in?  My modem
supports 'readable format' (#CID=1) and 'ascii printable characters in
hex' (#CID=2).  Also, how do I tell mgetty to use caller id and look at
the dialin.config file?

Finally, how can I monitor what mgetty is doing?  I want smbclient to send
a message with the caller id strings to another machine when a voice call
is detected. 

Anyone have experiance with this type of setup?  If so, I'd like to hear
from you (please also include your modem type).

Thanks
-Paul

Well, I don't do anything like this yet (my modem isn't fancy enough), 
but here's how I read the mgetty info pages:

Looking at the mgetty info pages, I'd guess that the readable format
is your best bet; mgetty will use caller ID automatically if your
modem supports it and if there's anything in the /etc/dialin.config
file.  Also, the docs warn that you need to have mgetty connect only
after the second ring, as that's when caller ID information is often
sent.  (I think this might be modem-specific)

 Finally, how can I monitor what mgetty is doing?  I want smbclient to send
 a message with the caller id strings to another machine when a voice call
 is detected. 

Monitor the mgetty logs (/var/log/mgetty/mg_ttyxx) - another option is 
to figure out what mgetty sends to syslog, and set up a fifo to catch
that.  For example, adding:
*.* |/etc/mgetty/syslog.fifo
to /etc/syslog.conf, then doing
mkfifo /etc/mgetty/syslog.fifo
and then having some program read lines out of /etc/mgetty/syslog.fifo 
will allow that program to see anything that gets logged (by any
program) to the syslog.  You'll probably want to narrow down the *.*
to what you actually need once you figure out what class and severity
of the relevant mgetty messages are.

/etc/dialin.config or /etc/mgetty/dialin.config (Debian package)?  A
default file is in /etc/mgetty, but mgetty seems to ignore it and aways
answer the phone..  I have !all on the last line.

No, caller id is handled by the phone company.  They send the information
between the first and second ring.

  a message with the caller id strings to another machine when a voice call

The problem with that method is that I'd need to have a high level of
debugging for mgetty to even show the modem responces (caller id info,
etc)..   Several months ago, someone told me another way, but I lost the
message..

check the dialin.config file?

For voice calls, I'd like to send a message (smbclient) to another
computer.  How can I monitor the caller id strings and if mgetty
determines that it is voice?

Anyone had any experiance with this setup?  I'd like to hear how well it
works (please also include your modem type).
