Hi Marc!

>    - says 01/17 10:26:15 yS0    vgetty: voice_handle_event got event 0x2009 with data 0x0

in voice_event.h:
#define LOOP_BREAK               (0x2009)

Interesting. What did you do to produce this event? Apart from that,
vgetty should simply ignore it.

Strange.

Hmmm, but this is in vgetty_event.c. Complete logfile please... this
single line, doesn't tell me, where the problem is.

I renamed pvftoadpcm* to pvftozyxel*, because we're going to add
formats for different modems and the old name was no longer
appropriate.

As I wrote in my announce for the new code (see voice/Announce), I
changed the header for the raw modem data. pvftozyxel* produces a raw
modem data file with 1496 in the header. I will add an option to
pvftozyxel* to output a 2864 in the header (it's on my ToDo list
(#12)). Meanwhile you can simply change the 1496 to 2864 in your copy
of pvf_zyxel.c.

vplay? You mean vm, right? Fine, that the beep and with some tricks
the voice playing option works. This means the basic things are ok. :-)

I'm sorry for not being able to do very much at the moment, but I'm
running extremly short on time at least until April. I very much
appreciate any help in debugging the new code (especially unified
diffs that fix bugs). Thanks to all you brave vgetty testers around
the world!

Bye,
Marc
