NAME
isdntel
- isdn4bsd telephone answering management utility
SYNOPSIS
isdntel
[-a aliasfile]
[-d spooldir]
[-p playcommand]
[-t timeout]
DESCRIPTION
isdntel
is used to provide an
``answering machine''
functionality for incoming telephone voice messages.
The following options are supported:
- -a
-
Use
aliasfile
as the pathname for an aliasfile containing aliases for phone numbers. The
default path is
/etc/isdn/isdntel.alias
.
The format of an alias entry is the number string followed by one or more
spaces or tabs. The rest of the line is taken as the alias string. Comments
are introduced by a leading blank, tab or
``#''
character.
- -d
-
Use
spooldir
as the directory where the incoming voice messages are stored by the
``answ''
script called by
isdnd(8).
This defaults to the directory
/var/isdn
.
The format of a voice message filename is:
YYMMDDhhmmss-dest_number-source_number-length_in_secs
- -p
-
Use
playcommand
as the command string to execute for playing a voice message to some audio
output facility. The characters
%s
are replaced by the currently selected filename. The default string is
cat %s | alaw2ulaw >/dev/audio
- -t
-
The value for
timeout
specifies the time in seconds the program rereads the spool directory
when there is no keyboard activity.
The screen output should be obvious. If in doubt, consult the source.
