The overall design could look like this: ISDN-Driver -Interface 1- phone call handler -2- speech recognition and command generation -3- command receiver in application Description: - The phone call handler is waiting for calls and handling them (pick up, etc.). Via Interface 1 a data stream representing the callers talk (format could be raw digital sound data with 8 kBit sampling frequence etc.) is handed over to a speech recognition module. - The speech recognition module should detect single words out of a set of approx.100. The result should be handed over as a stream of Identifier to the command receiver module (e.g. the parser) in the application. My questions: - Where can I get information about the ISDN-Application-Interface on the above mentioned level? (I'm using a recently purchased Fritz! PCI-ISDN-Adapter). - Is a module for speech recognition available to solve to problem? Thanks for help. Thomas -- Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 01:13:44 -0500 From: Arthur H.

Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 07:24:20 +0530 1. I want to try Linux but am bewildered by the different Linux offerings. What Linux O.S. should I try? I think the question should have been 'What Linux distro should I try'. There's only one Linux OS - but you can obtian it inseveral different packages. In my opinion the RedHat distro's are good for newcomers - SuSe seems OK, but I still prefer RedHat. 3. What database could replace my Microsoft Access 2000? If your requirement is SQL then you can have PostgreSQL or MySQL 4. What programming language would you recommend to replace Visual Basic? Perl/Python disillusioned with Microsoft and would like to escape to a better world - I' m hoping it's Linux It is, it is...:) Bye, = Rajarshi Guha email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http:/www.psynet.net/jijog -- Subject: Re: Faster than strstr From: Ben Pfaff [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Crossposted-To: comp.lang.c.moderated,comp.lang.c Date: 20 May 2001 17:53:47 GMT CBFalconer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: mmf wrote: In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], DB [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My current project for SPI Dynamics made extensive use of the strstr() function to detect malicious activity in web server log files. The performance of that search routine was quite a bottleneck while LogAlert was detecting exploit strings. The strstr() function seemed to be part of the problem, I had to find a way to speed things up. why not move laterally? instead of a faster way to repeatedly scan text why not find a way to scan text once A technique used in ID2ID (to replace id strings in multiple source files in one pass) inputs the candidate strings and forms a binary tree. It uses an AVL tree to avoid imbalance, but could also use red-black trees. [...] If the table of candidate strings does not change during a program run, then there's a good chance that a balanced tree is a waste of time and too complicated to boot. I would probably use qsort() followed by bsearch() for simplicity or a hand-coded binary search for speed, or maybe a hash table or trie, myself. Though AVL and red-black trees are pretty, there's an even prettier algorithm for giving an ordinary binary tree perfect balance in O(n) time and O(1) space. If you really want to use a binary tree, then, for a tree with static content, you can't beat this. Just build a tree that's unbalanced any which way and run it through the balancer. This algorithm is implemented in the latest ALPHA release of libavl, FWIW. As always, libavl is available from URL:http://www.msu.edu/~pfaffben. -- What is appropriate for the master is not appropriate for the novice.

I already took a look at cygwin, but could not see any switches for cross compilation to linux. Several different solutions to this problem. Solution 0: == Did you know that you can get a PVCS client for Linux? That should take care of your entire problem right there - check out onto a Linux box and build. See http://www.pvcs.synergex.com/pvcs-plt.htm. Solution 1: (if you don't want to shell out the $$ for the PVCS client on Linux) == Do the build on a Linux box. To get the sources to compile, you have to check them out on the windows and be able to access them on a linux box. Several ways of doing this: 1. rsh windows_host pvcs checkout to Windows-local path 2a. Access the files remotely on the Linux box in one of two ways: * Export the directory as a
