Hi,

I put it in cnd-program.  It looks something like this.

// Returns nonzero if the specified phone number is unwanted.
int unwanted(const char *number) {
char *s;
FILE *badfile;
int c;
badfile = fopen(badfilename,"r");
if (badfile == NULL)
return 0;
s = malloc(64);
while (c != EOF) {
c = fscanf(badfile,"%s\n",s);
if (!strcmp(number,s)) {
free(s);
fclose(badfile);
return 1;
} // endif
} // end while
free(s);
fclose(badfile);
return 0;
}

That does a very basic scan.  When I figure out the chat(8) command, I'll
give it more flexability.  I hope that helps.
