caller id in vgetty

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

I'm in the US (unlike Vaggos) with a USR 33.6 voice modem and I can't
seem to get vgetty to pull in the caller-id information.  I've used X
apps like "xcallerid" and "gnuvoice", and they all pull down the
caller-id information perfectly.  But as I watch the vgetty log, it
always says:

##### message keep, length=00:00:34, name='', caller=none, dev=ttyS3,
pid=12345

My modem dosen't have the AT#CID=1 set by default, so I've added this (
I think) to the mgetty.config file using "init-chat".

 # mgetty.config (complete file)
debug 4
speed 38400
port ttyS3
init-chat "" AT#CID=1 OK

What I'm trying to do is add $ARGV[0] and $ARGV[1] to a Perl script that
is already being invoked from the voice.conf file.

#voice.conf (snippet)
rings 4
message_program /etc/voicemail.pl <CallerID> <Name>

Like I said, many GUI tools work fine, and even if I sit and watch
minicom as the phone rings, all the caller-id information scrolls across
the screen, no problem.  Any other suggestions with vgetty?

TIA,
Jason
