Getting CIP value within incoming.py

[Rene Voss]

Hi folks (and merry christmas by the way),

I want to test the CIP value within the incoming.py script to
distinguish analog from digital telephone calls. Has anyone an idea how
I can access it?

Since a few months we receive more and more annoying telephone calls
from call-centers or automatic call-computers - last time on Chrismas
Eve at 6 in the morning! I would like to answer these calls
automatically, but only the digital ones without a call_from number.
Therefor I need the CIP value.

Regards,
Rene

Unfortunately, you can't - without changes in the C++ part of CapiSuite.
Different CIP values are mapped to the simple VOICE and FAX service
indicators you get in the scripts to make it simpler.

Hmm, I had the same problem about three or four months ago. Then I started to
get really rude and to ask about their details to make a report against the
consumer advice centre ("Verbraucherzentrale"). Shortly after that, the calls
stopped...

That was exactly what I thought yesterday, after I'd taken a quick look
on your source.

I added the CIP value to the Connection class and passed it to the
Python incoming script. After I enhanced this script and the user's
config-section (with values for CIP- and caller-numbers), it's running
very well.

I've tried the rude way, but it's really difficult to get useful
information from this computer-voice. :-)

Ah, ok, great. :)

Ah, ok, those thingies only hit me twice or so. The other times, I was called
by real persons...
