Snicker. Mine is old compared to yours, a KX-T123211D. But surprisingly it integrates to some degree with the TVS-50. All that is recorded is SMDR, mainly phone calls in and out of the system. Sadly the KSU does not support Caller ID. I monitor the TVS also and have it sending daily reports on usage. Simply, DB-25 from the KSU to DB-9 on the linux host. ttywatch is configured to monitor the com port and it logs to a file in /var/log/ttywatch. I can telnet to the host on port 3000 and see real time what the KSU is spitting out. Likewise I can telnet to port 3001 (second comm port) and manage the TVS without interrupting the recording session. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
