I would like to be able to let my linux box handle all > calls! just get the most recent mgetty+voice package (1.1.30) and as long as your modem is a voice modem, then look at the files in /etc/mgetty+sendfax, and the settings in voice.conf, you will see a setting like answer_mode:data:fax:voice. You'll probably need the string for your modem though. Once it works, then you can get a front end program to play messages, etc. I'd recommend tkvoice at http://tkvoice.netfirms.com Playing messages over the web will probably mean creating a password protected directory from apache, and setting a script to run as message_program that will convert the raw modem voice file as mp3 and copy it over. If vgetty is running on a seperate server, then I just nfs the working directories from the client so tkvoice will think they were local. It took some fiddling around, but is nice once you get it. I've got voice, modem, and fax all on the same phone line. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
