vgetty : pause before start playing message

[Pascal]

Hello,

I try to use vgetty. I want to dial a phone number and playing a message
. The message.sh script do that. All is correct, but there is a pause
just before playing message. This delay is about 5-15 seconds, but it is
too long.

How can I fix it ?

Thanks.

the usual problem for sending voice messages is, that vm needs to know
that the called party has picked up the phone.
So if there is no pause, it could be that know human ever hears your
message.

Search in the voice.conf file for ringback an the explanation.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.
The default value for ringback_goes_away is 70. When I put a small
value (20) the message starts even the called party has not picked the
phone up.
I would like to detect when the called party pick up. Do you think it is
impossible ?

If vgetty is not able to do that, what soft can I use instead ?

Call a number and measure the time between two ringback tones.
Use this values (in 1/10seconds) as ringback_goes_away setting.

I have always the same problem. Finally, I have stored 20 in=20
ringback_goes_away and I have recorded a message in loop. The message=20
start playing when the phone rings. So the called party can hear the=20
message without delay. But it is not a good solution ...

now you know that the default value 70 is to large and 20 is to small.
You need to try with the values between 20 and 70.

The real value is 35 (given by France Telecom). But this value or
another change nothing ... I don't understand... Perhaps there is an
other mistake in the voice.conf file ?

So if there is no pause, it could be that know human ever hears your

besides, if your users are expecting to receive an automated message,
then a small delay is probably okay, since it's a message that they
want to hear.

if your users aren't expecting to receive an automated message, then
shame on you. ;-)

The problem is, that your modem needs to detect that the other party has
picked up.
For ISDN this is signalled through the D-channel. But for analog phone
line the ringback tone needs to be observed.
