Hi Geoffrey,
	Thanks for your response to my inquiry about a caller id popup 
that will work with vgetty.  Sorry I am so late coming back to you on 
this.  My new modem arrived and I have been fighting other problems 
getting it to work with vgetty.  I am curious about the script you use 
that captures the caller id information and passes it off to festival.  Is 
this a script you wrote yourself or did you get it from somewhere else?  
I know know nothing about writing scripts so any direction you can point 
me in for help is greatly appreciated.  Again this is a RedHat 7.3 system 
if that is any help.

TIA,
