Hrm. (no CND delivery until too late)

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hrm.  I was at a friend's house, and he has this fancy caller id box.
When the machine recognizes a number, it announces the call using my
friend's recorded message.  So on his mom's number, the box says "Mom
is calling".

I thought "Hey, I've got caller-id, a modem, vgetty, and an audio
board with speakers, why can't I do that?"

I've been trying to figure out how to do that with [mv]getty, but
haven't found a way yet..  The cnd-program isn't called until the
modem is ready to answer the phone.  That's too late.  I want to get
the data as soon as it's ready

The only thing I can see to do is log at a high level, and parse the
log file.  Yuck.  It would be *so* much better if cnd-program were
called just as soon as the data was ready.  Then it would be a piece
of cake.
