[ale] mgetty and caller ID setup

Mon Dec 10 13:53:56 EST 2001

I used a neat perl app to do it.  It inserts the CID data into a Mysql
database and can display it on your screen using xmessage.  It's pretty
cool.  The url is:

www.packetstormsecurity.com/UNIX/misc/basic_callerid_logger-1.0.0.pl.txt

I think you can use a textfile instead of a Mysql db, but Mysql is cool
so I recommend it (I use it with PHP for viewing when I'm not home).

Subject: [ale] mgetty and caller ID setup

Hello all,

I've got mgetty set up on my box, and when I get a call in, I see the
mgetty.log.ttyS0 log showing:
wfr:  waiting for RING...

repeated several times for each call (I assume once per ring), and when
the call is answered, I see the caller ID number in the log file.
However,
I  do not see the effects of the cnd-program I've got set up. I suspect
that I'm missing one small option somewhere.  That, or I can't run a
shell
script as the cnd-program [yes, it's world-readable, owner executable] 

Has anyone done this kind of thing before successfuly?  My goal is to
have
the CID be used for a festival-based spoken Caller ID utility, so that I
don't have to find the phone unit to see who's calling.

Thanks in advance
