[cisco-voip] Simple (?) TCL IVR script

[Tim Reimers]

Hi Dave-

This is a strange possibility for you, but:

There's a neat project going on in Amateur Radio where they're using
VOIP technologies
to pass audio streams over the Internet between amateur radio operators
in foreign countries 
(whilst we use our little local VHF radios, rather than the long
distance HF ones)

They have the ability to play audio streams from the far end-
When I (here in Asheville NC) bring up the node in Trinidad, it plays me
a message-
so perhaps that same code they're using?

I haven't looked, but I wonder if they're playing a UDP file into the
stream I'm listening to, then connecting me to the repeater audio-

Sequence of events:

1. I activate the local repeater on 146.640 Mhz 
2. I annouce that I'm bringing up a node and enter the DTMF keys for
that node's ID
3. After about 4-5 seconds, it says "Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago,
land of the steelpan..."
4. Then, it says "Link connected", there's a 'click' and I'm suddenly
hearing the audio from the repeater in Valsayn, Trinidad.

Pretty cool! 
and completely open-source--
It's a RedHat Linux powered set of programs

The reason I explain all of this, is because they have downloadable
scripts and so on that
do things on the nodes- like announce local temperature, etc..

Seems like that's about what you're looking for - a way to announce
something 'into' the UDP stream...

Subject: [cisco-voip] Simple (?) TCL IVR script 

Before I embark on trying to figure out the TCL IVR scripting language
for
Call applications, I was wondering if someone had something pre-baked
that
did one of the two following things:

1) Played a beep tone before or during  connecting the call.  Simple as
that!

2) Read back the dialed digits (or destination pattern matched) before
or
during connecting the call.


Basically I've got an application where it dumps the user into what's
effectively a poor-man's conference bridge (hoot 'n' holler over IP) and
I'd like to provide some kind of positive acknowledgement that they're
connected to *something* when they dial in.

Any help appreciated...

-Dave
