Re: voice modem + caller ID
install ISDN and use vbox. A friend of mine turned that into a fully programmable flexible answering machine.

I'm trying to make some complex scripting with my caller ID modem on my linux box... Well, mgetty and vgetty only work with Class 2 modems. This is by design. Class 1 modems try to implement all the low-level protocols in software. This is basically a real-time operation. A multitasking OS such as Linux is by definition not real time (without special extensions), so a Class 1 implementation will raise the CPU load to pretty high levels. This is basically the same concept as Winmodems vs. real ones. Try to get a Class 2 modem -- they're not that expensive, although they may be hard to get by these days. Vgetty works like a charm with these modems. I find it hard to believe you'll find software that works with Class 1 modems on Unix/Linux. BTW -- if it's an option for you, get an ISDN line and card. ISDN cards can do voice, and have crystal-clear quality. Linux supports voice with ISDN cards, but you'll have to check which cards are supported.

ISDN is not an option in my case, and I may consider switching to class 2 modem. In any case, is there any good implementation just for using caller ID feature on class 1 modems and counting number of rings, passing this info to a script... I've tried to code something like this myself but it had lots of trouble. My modem uses the AT+VCID=1 command set with replies like: DATE=1101 TIME=0923 NBMR=035551212 Thanks, Alon - if you cut here, you'll probably destroy your monitor -- This message was sent by Alon Altman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ICQ:1366540 The RIGHT way to contact me is by e-mail.
