ZyXEL and zplay?

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

Hi,

I just got a ZyXEL Elite 2864 and installed mgetty/sendfax/vgetty.  My questions
are regarding vgetty.

First, I can't seem to get zplay to record according to my wishes:  The `-L'
and `-c' options don't do what I want.  For example, the following two commands
behave exactly the same way, i.e. they don't stop recording until I hit Control-C:

$ zplay -r fred -L 15 -m -l ttyS2 
$ zplay -r fred -L 5 -m -l ttyS2 

Why doesn't max length stop the recording?

Also, the following two compression settings seem to record the same (poor)
quality voice:

$ zplay -r fred -L 15 -m -x 7 -l ttyS2 -T 10 -V 0 -c 4
$ zplay -r fred -L 15 -m -x 7 -l ttyS2 -T 10 -V 0 -c 127

Why doesn't the voice quality get better when I use better values for `-c'?


My second question is about voice mail.  As far as I can tell from the man and
info pages, vgetty is designed for only one level of DTMF operation --- I mean
it looks like you can have only one voice `menu'.  I would like to have the
ability to switch menus like those snazzy professional voice-mail
implementations.  Is it possible to use vgetty this way?  Is anyone out there
doing it?

Thanks for any info you can give me,
David Wuertele
