	Well, what part of it is broken? I will try to look at it.
Today I have resurrected my year-old voice application and (surprise,
surprise), it seems it works even with newer vgetty and the current
Modem::Vgetty (0.03) module. Even the readnum routine works for me. What's
wrong with the module for you?

	I think it would be better to extend/improve the current module.
I don't see a way of creating a powerful-enough interface without the
event-driven programming, but I am open to suggestions. For simpler
menus the readnum() or something similar should be enough and you don't
need to use the event handlers (maybe you need one handler for BUSY_TONE
for exiting the program):

$v = new Modem::Vgetty;

$answer = $v->readnum("$path/$msg.rmd", $timeout, $repeat);
if ($answer eq '123') {
	something;
} elsif ($answer eq '4567') {
	something else;
} else {
	$v->play_and_wait("$path/wrong_code.rmd");
}
