Greetings,
Yesterday I configured an answering machine for my NetBSD-server. The
package works very well. But I have some problems I could not find an
answer for - at least not in the web, the archives or Usenet. Is the
I4B answering machine community that small that it's so hard to find
traces?
1. The answering machine records the whole call, not just the callers
message after the beep. That's annoying and does not make sense.
The incoming idle time is for the whole call as well. If it is set
to 5 seconds, I4B hangs up while the caller still listens to my
introduction.
I found a patch from Gabor Dolla in the archives; but it wont in-
stall on my new I4B release, probably because the patch is from 1998.
2. How can I process DTMF touchtones? The tool which is included in I4B
will give me the tones from a recorded a-law file. But I need to
process the touchtones *while recording*. For example, after pressing
*1234# the introduction is stopped and I can listen to the received
messages. Like it's done in vbox for Linux: You can define sequences
after which the current action is stopped so that the script can de-
cide on the reaction.
3. How can I use aliasing in answering scripts? While the aliases show
up in /var/log/messages the script only get $SRC and $TEST - which
are always telephone numbers. I can't put the aliasing directive into
the I4BTEL section of isdnd.rc because it will complain about syntax
errors.
The few messages I found in the mailing list archives are quite old. I'm
confused: Are there multiple projects for I4B answering machines or is
all the development done for the software which is currently included in
I4B?
As for VBOX/I4BTEL: I4btel does not have so many features as vbox (like
TCL scripts and touchtone recognition) but it's much leaner and I like
coding in perl anyhow.
Greetings!
Tobias
