user: You are replying to All about "Voice "AT+V" Full Command Set".

Write your reply.

assistant: ACK All!
I've got a U1496E+, ROM V6.10P and Manual Rev.2.1.
At page 14-2 it says "The command implementation is not final at this
writing."
I therefore ask for a full and complete "AT+V" command set. The manual and
quick reference guide are inconsistent.
Eksample; These commands result in a "NO CARRIER" after I've done a "AT&F"
"AT+VCL?", "AT+VLS?", "AT+VTH?", "AT+VSI?", "AT+VMK?", "AT+VAS?", "AT+VAT?"
and these in a "ERROR"
"AT+VPR?", "AT+VPR=?"
I'm especialy interested in detecting the DTMF tones from the remote-phone.

Write your reply.

assistant: Mea culpa.  OS/2 / DOS.
        Pardon my ignorance for this for a second, but can you define "attach
        the voice playback to the line" for me?  Are you refering to the
        AT commands to select which device (ie speaker vs. telco line) ?
        That's it?  Just set the right commands and write the data out to the
        modem?  I thought I tried that, but I must be wrong.
        What type of response?  Say someone pressed a DTMF5, would the modem
        send '5' back?
        Well, I wouldn't need a full port - just the detection and playback
        routines.  Basically, my project is a very simple, primative (but
        working) software based pbx system.
        I don't want to keep bugging you about this (and I do appreciate your
        help).  Is there a place that you know of were I can pick
mgetty/vgetty

VM>    Would you be so kind as to explain me what the ISDN is?

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Vadim,
ISDN is an alternative to normal phone-lines. Normal phone-lines use audio
signals for communication, while ISDN lines use digital signals.
In the past the problem was to convert digital data (from the computer) to
audio signals (for the phone-lines) and re-converting them afterwards.
Therefore the modem was created (MOulator DEModulator). However, as
comm-speeds increased, line quality became too poor to support higher speeds.
Therefore phone-companies started working in a new direction: digital phone
lines. ISDN has the advantage that only minimal translation has to be done by
the modem (no more than error-correction, session handshaking, ...). ISDN
lines are also faster than conventional lines (64Kbps is about the fastest I
have seen to date).
That's all,
Bye!

Write your reply.

assistant: Yes, speaker vs. telco and in come cases vs. microphone or external
 speaker, and the Elite has some other connection options like DTE to
 telco and microphone to something else at the same time, or something
 like that.
 Your modem manual lists a bunch of "dle escapes".  These are always
 the ascii DLE character followed by another character that represents
 an event.  These may be anywhere in your record data stream, or may be
 detected while playing data.  These may be hang-ups, silence detect,
 busy detect, or DTMF tones.  The sequence for dtmf tones is always
 keypad while recording sends <dle><3> to the computer.
 Yes, and your lucky I've been playing with it lately or else I'd
never remember this off the top of my head.
 ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/networking/communications/modem/mgetty/
That URL will get you to the right directory.  The latest is .99 and
was last modified Feb of this year.  It supports the complete ZyXEL
command set (including new Elite features) as well as most other
modems.  You can program call flows using shell scripts using the
voice tools that come with it.  There is lots of code, but its pretty
well organized.

Touch-tone phone generate 12 distinct tones and that's all that there

The alphabetic groupings are a throw-back to the days when phone numbers
began with two alphabetic letters, often representing and actual name.
For example, a number might have been "ADams 5678"; it would have been
be dialed as "235678". The thinking back then was that people could
more-easily remember a name plus a few numbers, but would have more
difficulty remembering a string of numbers.
