[Bayonne-devel] Outbound calls with OpenLine4

[Anders Wittfeldt]

Hi,

Please have patience with me, a few weeks ago I thought IVR was some kind 
of illness.. ;-)

There has been previous discussions on bayonne-devel about problems with 
outbound calls using Voicetronix cards. After increasing the 
dialtone  detection timeout in bayonne.conf and applying the dial.cpp-patch 
sent to the list in april 2002, I'm now able to dial out using "dtmf" but 
not "dial".

As far as I can understand, this is because of a broken "call state 
handler" on Voicetronix cards (which "dial" uses and "dtmf" doesn't)

So, my questions are:

1. Has anybody had any luck whatsoever with "dial" and Voicetronix cards?
2. Using "dtmf" followed by "sleep" to delay the first voice prompt until 
the user (hopefully) has picked up is not very reliable. Is there a better way?

I'm running Bayonne 1.0.0 on SuSE Linux 8, Voicetronix OpenLine4 pci + 
driver version 2.2.19.

Thanks,
Anders
