Hi, We have installed an Interactive Voice Response System based on LINUX, for cooperative bank in Nagpur. How it works. 1. When the user dials in he is greeted with a message and asked to enter his account number. 2. If the account number is correct then he is asked to enter his password or the passnumber). 3. If the password is correct he is given several options to know his account details like, share amount, details of loan taken, installments if any due, details of fixed deposits, details of rd account etc. 4. The user can change his password also. 5. Finally the user is thanked and wished away. How it is implemented, 1. The vgetty is run from the inittab which looks for incoming telephone call. 2. When the call comes vgetty runs a perl script (written from scratch ), which in turn *talks* to voice shell vm 3. The perl script and voice shell to gather *talks* to modem and telephone line. 4. The perl script also interfaces with the data base to fetch the required user data. 5. The watch dog of vgetty keeps the watch on perl script and modem, and kills the process if some thing goes wrong. Best Regards, M.S.Deshmukh, Director. Beta Computronics Pvt. Ltd.
