Voice Functions suitable for originating ??

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

Hi,

I have been on this list for about 10 days now, hoping an answer to
my question would appear, or a pointer to a FAQ, or WWW page, but to no
avail.  So, please forgive my intrusion into the list.

Is the mgetty+sendfax software suitable for originating calls & sending 
voice messages, possibly prompting for "Push 1 for yes, 2 for no", and
recording the responses.  

I understand the voice stuff is pretty much shell script driven, so it is
very programmable, & since I am a master at shell script<g>, that side 
won't be a problem.  I just wonder if the voice technology is suitable,
and more importantly, reliable?

I would like to tie in a feature to our software that would call patients
and remind them of their next appointment, & maybe permit them through the
use of the DTMF tones, to say yes, they will be able to make the appt or
no, the won't, or to piss off & have a human call me ( default action <g> ).

Ideas?

Thanks,
