vgetty / vm shell programming Q

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi,

I'm writing a couple of Python classes to communicate with vm / vgetty;
if time allows, these will eventually evolve into an answering machine /
voice box construction kit. Most of the stuff is working already, but
I'm still having some troubles:

	o "DIAL" returns with "READY" incredibly late (i.e. about fifteen
      seconds after the phone is picked up); "STOP" while dialing
      returns "ERROR" and then "READY", and the modem doesn't hang up.

	o "PLAY" should return "PLAYING" and "READY" when playback is done
      (or "ERROR"), but sometimes returns "READY", _then_ "PLAYING",
      then "READY".

Also, I miss commands to hang up and initiate / reply to data calls 
(functionality for fax calls is there, if undocumented).

Is there any more documentation about the voice shell functionality to
be found other than the Readme.voice_shell file in the distribution?
I've looked into the source (even went at vm with gdb), but the event
mechanism seems quite complicated, so if there's documentation available
somewhere, I'd rather use that than the source, Luke. :)

TIA,
