Consider the scenario: A touchtone IVR system with a variety of menus and options. Assume you are a service provider of some kind and your job is to find out the balances of each account of your client list. (or any other information). All the information pertaining to the IVR system and the client exists in a DB. Can an application be written such that it will dial in to the IVR and for the relevant clients (as determined by some other set of logic) in an automated way and extract the information needed after navigating through the menu on its own? It does not have to translate the audio output into text/numbers but just record that important bit. Anyone tried something like this in php/perl? More importantly, can this be done? thanks abhi ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sick sense of humor? Visit Yahoo!

[OT] mtnl fixed wireless connection to an EPABX device
by Abhishek Daga 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hi, I was wondering if there is any way we can connect a fixed wireless telephone set (mtnl/reliance/tata) to an existing epabx system? The focus is on mtnl really because they have come up with an unlimited local plan for 399 only. Google has thrown up some terminal exporters, but if anyone has any first hand information as well as availability and cost, it would be great. thanks abhishek ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal?

Linux compatible PCI Wireless card?
by Dinesh Shah 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

H! List, I am planning to buy a PCI Wireless card. I have Debian 4.0 installed with kernel "Linux debian 2.6.21-2-686 #1 SMP" I already have a card from surecom - "01:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)" 01:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20) Subsystem: Surecom Technology Unknown device 13f2 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 12 I/O ports at c000 [size=256] Memory at dd002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 but I could not find the driver for this card without upgrading to Ubuntu 7.04 with linux-restricted modules. Can you suggest the compatible PCI Wireless card for this stoke kernel? I am not too kin on using ndiswrapper. I want natively support card. TIA for your help and support.

Boot unsuccessful./dev/hda7(/ for Ubuntu) had vmlinuz as symlink to boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic and a vmlinuz.old as symlink to boot/vmlinuz- 2.6.20-15-generic,both owned by root and 777 permissions. Similarly,initrd.img was symlink to boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic and initrd.img.old was symlink to boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic,again owned by root and 777 permissions. I tried root=/dev/hda7 and root=/dev/hda5 with root (hd0,4).I also deleted the above symlinks in chroot mode because my /boot partition is not automount and there's no use of symlinks which point to a file on a partition which is not mounted.Hopefully,that's not wrong. :P Anybody have other ideas? Regards, Easwar PS:I was thinking of moving my /var/cache/apt/archives to my /home partition and fresh install w/o touching the /home partition in case nothing works out.Is that a good idea?

Please help with hardware RAID detection in Fedora 7
by Nachiketa Sadhu 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hi, I have a Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard which supports hardware RAID. I have installed Fedora 7 on the first SATA hard disk (sda). Now I have added two more identical SATA hard disks and configured them as mirrored RAID in BIOS. In the OS I can still see them as sdb and sdc and not as one single disk. My vendor tells me that I have to reinstall the OS for it to detect the RAID disk. I do not want to reinstall as I have done lot of customization. Can any one please help me in configuring the RAID without reinstalling the OS. Any pointers would also be welcome. Thanks and regards. sadhu
