I've got a CallerID program that I've found on Freshmeat.net (elcid, for
those keeping track)...
I've edited the reporting functions so that instead of throwing it up on
the console like it normally does, it instead calls lynx with the -dump
parameter to the PHP page, and that in turn puts the variables into a
DB... (Basically I can access my full CallerID information from anywhere)
My question is ... is there any difference for me to call system() to
lynx, or for me to call the PHP interpreter directly? I've noticed a lot
of lag time between the phone ringing, and the data being reflected on
the report page (between 7 - 10 full seconds) .. Now I know for a fact
that the elcid program is partly at 'fault' as far as a delay in
displaying the info from the modem (developer is looking into it as time
allows, from what I hear) .. but I know it wasn't 7-10 seconds.
Of course, I'd try it myself and see if there's any improvement, but I'm
short on time and don't have enough people to bother to say "Hey call me
back real quick" .. and besides, no sense editing and recompiling C code
if there's no difference :-D
Insight, as always, is very appreciated.
Thanks much!
