vgetty on iMac g3?

[Aljaz Srebrnic]

Hello,
i use an old iMac g3 DV 400Mhz as a server, and when I discovered
vgetty i got the idea to use it also as an answering machine. Is
vgetty compatible with the iMac internal modem?

thanks

do you have a description of the commandset of this modem?

To check that the modem has some kind of voice capabilities, use a
terminal program like minicom and issue the command:
AT+FCLASS=?
If the modem response contains fclass 8, than the modem has voice features.

No idea...

To figure out whether it is, you might want to run "mid" from the
mgetty/vgetty source tree on your modem, to see what commands the modem
supports. It can be found in "mgetty/tools/mid" (and is automatically
build if you run "make").

I don't know how the tty device to talk to the modem is called on the
iMac, but under Linux, one would call it as:

$ sudo mid /dev/ttyS0

(for a modem on /dev/ttyS0).

If you manage to get it to print some modem responses, please let us
know the results...
