Treating call based on CallerID info ?

[PhoneUserGuide]

If possible, I would like to write an aspect script that picks up CallerID information and treats the call accordingly. For Example, if the CallerID information is missing (aka UNKNOWN / UNKNOWN) then the modem would take that line off hook - play the "you have reached a non-working number" recording and then hangup on the call. If the recording is played properly the tones that are a part of that recording signal to that telemarketer to remove that number from their database.

Any help anyone can provide on collecting the CallerID information and processing based on the data provided is greatly appreciated.

In return I will post the solution script once completed and found to be working.

Thank You... Chris Snow : chris@snow.org

Hello,

Try playing with the $CALLERID variable that stores the Incoming Call Number. You may be able to do a Strcmp with the Variable.. Just an Idea... Also if you need any of the Bellsouth Recordings, I have them in WAV format.

You might also want to look at the Caller ID Editor under the Tools menu. It might be easier to let it do the screening and select the proper script to run. However, one thing to keep in mind is that Procomm does not allow for playing sound files over the phone connection (there is no voice support in Procomm). What you may be able to do is pass the connection to another program that does allow for this.
