v/mgetty questions.

Hello,


#1

If I set my rings to 5 (so I can pick up the phone while I am around) how can I 
get mgetty/vgetty to always log the caller ID (by running the cnd-program) after 
2 rings?  If the phone doesn't ring 5 times, vgetty doesn't run the cnd-program.

If I pick up at ring 3, vgetty won't log the info (cnd-program).  But, I still 
need vgetty to wait until 5 rings before answering voice/fax/whatever. 

#2

Once I get #1 working is there a program that I can run from my linux box to 
send out this caller ID info after ring 2 to all Windows boxes on the lan (some 
type of automatic popup window box? (preferably configurable - a pop up window 
that doesn't take focus and saves window position - or something like that))

#3

Does the vgetty message_program have to be an .sh script?  I tried making my 
new_voice program a perl script but it didn't seem to work.  I have to call the 
perl script from an initial new_voice.sh shell script.  Is this a true limit, or 
did I do something wrong?

Thanks,

- john.
