[hcflinux] Linux drivers,

Tue May 20 12:12:08 EDT 2003

I was able to get the voice (FCLASS=8) to work by manually telling
hcfpciconfig to use the v.92 modem config (it was picking v.90
automatically). However, I had to manually hack the init string in
policy.h for mgetty to not use "&D3" (changed to &D2) and recompile it
(which looks a little rough under redhat, lots of warnings). After this,
I was able to get vgetty to run but this is what it reported in the log
(a little long, sorry) :

It doesn't seem to like a lot of the "advanced" voice options, are these
different for the HCF driver or something? Haven't actually plugged it
into the wall to see if it will answer the phone, I will post if I can
get it to work. All I am really interested in doing is making a simple 1
voicemail box answering machine with caller-id (with possibly the
addition of a "paging" ability, where the computer will call my mobile
phone and let me listen to the voicemail should I get one).

Subject: Re: [hcflinux] Linux drivers,

I was also looking to use vgetty.  When I executed the voice AT commands

listed in the Conexant documentation (also on the driver website) they 
appeared to work fine.  The problem I found was that vgetty did not 
support the AT command set used by the Conexant driver.  Unfortunately 
the commands are in the code instead of in a config file.  I considered 
adding the Conexant command set to vgetty but then got too busy.  Does 
anyone know if support has been added or is being added?
