Well, I only recently saw a product that might help and thought I'd see if people think this would work.<br><br>http://www.vikingelectronics.com/products/view_product.php?pid=193<br><br>This product is made specifically for their emergency phones which responds to an initial * DTMF and then responds with DTMF codes. After calling them, they said they can engineer the device without the initial * so that it just waits for DTMF codes which it uses to gauge the success of a test call.<br><br>I'm thinking, since most of the time, it's a system issue, not a port issue, I can set up ports on each of our systems that respond with particular DTMF codes as part of a .wav file. For example, if we want to check voice mail, I can create a call handler that responds with specific DTFMs. I can also create a voice mail box that has these DTMFs as well.<br><br>Anyone else know of something similar that can do this? I know there are big software companies out there that have this solution, but I'd rather not spend 25 K on testing. This solution would cost us under 1K.<br><br><span><br><span name="x"></span>---<br>Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.<br>Senior Analyst (CCS) * University of Guelph * Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1<br>(519) 824-4120 x56354 (519) 767-1060 FAX (ANNU)<br>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br>Cooking with unix is easy.
