  To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.

In the "System wide message" thread, Shaun asked if I would share what I
am doing with a caller id solution with the group. 
Here is the answer to his question.

You bet.

I did some more work on it last night, and just need to figure out one
last little thing. When all is done, I think that I will have a hot
little tool. 

As a little teaser, here is what it will do in the end. 
When the phone rings my little system, yet to be named, will:
1. Display the caller id information in a meaningful message across your
network, including any Windows boxes, to all logged in.
2. Log all caller id information in a log file.
3. create a Web page from the log file that lists all the calls in the
caller id log file in a meaningful fashion, with the most recent call at
the top.

Some other ideas that I am toying with are:
1. Reworking the Web page to show Name, Number, The last date and time
the person called, the number of times this person called on that day,
and the number of times that person has called since tracking started.
2. A dial-out feature that is launched from the Web page.

Away off in the future I may play with a blocking feature that will
allow for the system to stop those annoying calls from bugging you. You
know the group that I am talking about, telemarketers, Mother-in-laws,
and the like.
 
If you have any ideas for this little system, let me know, and I will
try to add them to the list.

Watch for it soon. 
(soon means: Just as soon as I get this one little annoying bug worked
out.)

How is that for a brochure Shaun?

Have you looked in /var/log/samba or /var/log/ for the smbclient
logfile?

The windows service is messenger. To see if it is running, go into
administrator, then services, and look for messenger. It will say
started if it is running. If it isn't then start it.

HTH.

Shaun,

A simple little set of scripts would be what you are looking for. 
These scripts will basically all work the same.
The only difference in the scripts will be who you wish to transmit your
system message to.

The steps you would need to take to get everything working for you is
to:
1. install rwall and rwall server on the Linux side of the network.
2. start the rwall server. (you may also want to have rwall server start
automatically at boot time.)

Now for the scripts:

You may choose to create a script for each Linux server, so that you can
send a message to any or all of the servers from a central locations.
e.g. msglinux1 msglinux2 ... You get the idea.

You may want to set up a script to send a network wide message. e.g.
networkmsg In this script you would also need to include the wall
command to also broadcast to the machine that you are sending the global
message from.

You may want to setup a script to send a message to only windows boxes.
e.g. windowmsg
This way, you can set up groups or clusters to isolate where you are
transmitting to. 

The script will basically have the command rwall and the destination in
it in the case of transmitting to the Linux side of the network. For the
windows side, replace rwall with smbclient -M.

Make sure that messenger service is started on the windows box. 
Host name is the name of the windows box.

Otherwise, your command should work.

  To: Jayson Smith, Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.

Check out the linmodem how-to on the Linux documentation page, tldp.org
I think all your questions about your modem will be answered there. If
memory serves me correctly, there are 2 how-to's there, linmodem and
winmodem. You may need to read both of them to figure everything out.

Good luck!

I thought I'd play around with the caller ID feature on my modem and
see if I could write an accessible caller id program.  I enabled the
CID feature on my modem by doing 'AT#CID=1' and the modem responds
OK.  But when I tried ringing my phone recently, All I got was the
"RING" string back from the modem.  Does it have to ring more than
once to register it or do I have to do something else? I did arrange
with the phone company to have that service turned on.

Am I missing anything else?
