network status thru voice

1998-02-10 Thread A. M. Varon
Hi,

I would like our users to know if our local or international link to the
internet is up or down.

One solution I'm looking at is our users would dial a tel. no. and they
would be greeted with a voice saying the link is up or down.

Is there a program for this? Perl or C program would do?

regards,

There's a package in debian (unstable) named festival that does voice
synthesis. That's part of what you want, but you'll have to figure out how
to get the sound out over the telephone, I guess.

You can probably convince vgetty (a modified mgetty for voice) to do this
for you, although I've always found it too hard to find sufficient
documentation to get it running. It would play pre-recorded sounds for you.
