Re: Modem Recommendation

["Tony T" <tonyt@xxxxxxx>]

Ant,

thanks for the info. I'll look at the stuff on the web and get back to
you
(when I've got a modem).
I can just about read C, been a long time since I used it though.

Nice idea about dumping the voice mail onto a web page, would never of
thought of that.

Many thanks
Tony T

I'm in the process of doing just that, using a US Robotics Sportster
Voice modem, with the caller ID provided separately from a BT Airway
box.

My primary motivation was to answer the phone and play a suitably terse
message if the caller has withheld their number - we get a lot of
problems hereabouts with Anglia Windows.

To get you started look for the "Rockwell Voice Commands"
document on
the web. If you can read C, then mgetty has a module called vgetty with
some useful reference code, and the perl package LVRS does a similar
thing (these both have a linux flavour, I'm afraid).

The main pain in the arse is that voice modems use GSM or ADPCM formats
for their audio data, but again if you can read C I can furnish you
with
my code for converting between GSM and WAV format. Then you can just
plonk the wav files on a web page and check your answering machine
messages from a browser in work ;)
