My old instructions on how to setup a voice answering machine ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/Voice.FAQ mgetty home page http://www.leo.org/~doering/mgetty/index.html http://www.vix.com/hylafax/ mgetty/vgetty is okay however I think that hylafax is easier to use than vgetty. There are hooks on hylafax to redirect voice calls to a "third party program" such as vgetty perhaps for the short term this is the best way to proceed. At my ftp site, there is an old version of mgetty + vgetty which I believed the voice functions to work reliably . Tomorrow when I have more time I will built it, test it and report back to the mailing list. This can serve as a starting point to debug the current vgetty. Task List: 1. End User Documentation 2. Installation/Customization 3. First Cut . use hylafax/vgetty . The vgetty can be the one in my ftp site: ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/mgetty097-Jun12.tar.gz Provide what I have over here : caller id support , forward voice messages to mail recipient. Keep log of all incoming calls -- this is just a simple tcl/tk program or java program to display caller ID and log to a file. 3.a graphical customization or management of the voice answering system. 4. Java stand alone application and applet to play back audio messages First time around it will suffice to playback messages from a directory . Second version should use a java database interface to store and retrieve messages --- the idea here is to provide an enterprise-wide answering machine. There are a couple of graphic java packages which are capable of playing back audio and generate a nice wave display so for know just pick one. For storing audio messages perhaps postgress will suffice. There is a java jdbc interface to postgress as well as a nice tcl/tk frontend for managing postgress databases. 5. Once we reached a sufficient end-user level functionaliy write a nice web page on how to use the answering machine . The web page should be of sufficient quality to merit its inclusion at wwww.freebsd.org. I think that this is enough to kick off the voice answering machine project and I need help.
