Making calls with Capisuite

[Mattia Martinello]

Hi.

I have to use an Eicon Diva PCI internal ISDN card to make some phone
calls from my Linux server, and play some audio messages wich are saved
locally.
How I can do this with Capisuite?
I only found some howtos about making an answering machine or a faxing
machine, but nothing about making phone calls from my Linux box.

Could you help me, please?

Thank you very much and goodbye.
Mattia.

How I can do this with Capisuite?

With the currently distributed package not at all...
I guess there is some funtionality to do so in the API code but no
frontend script is doing this atm...
So you either start coding or look for another solution - I am playing
with asterisk for quite a while and its amazing waht you can do with it...

I read this in the official manual of Capisuite:
http://www.capisuite.de/manual/ch01s02.html

"To also be able to issue outgoing calls, another script is called at
regular intervals - the /idle script/. It can check any resource to get
instructions for placing a call - one can for example imagine to check a
special mail account or watch a special directory where tasks are placed
by the user."

But I don't understand that. Could you explain me this way?

Thanks!
Mattia.

sending a fax is also a outgoing call. Voice calls are not possible with
the default scripts: http://www.capisuite.de/manual/ch01s03.html

Ok, I Could write a new script for my own, but I don't understand when
the idle script (and the call) will be started.
Is there a way to execute the script any times I need?

The idle sript is executed by the capisuite deamon. The interval is set
in the capisuite configuration. I'm not sure, but i think if you run the
script on the comandline (not started by the capisuite deamon), you
cannot use the capisuite functions in python.

No, I'm sure I cannot run the script on the comandline...
I have some realtime needs when I make a call...
There is any contraindication to configure a "1 sec" interval in the
Capisuite configuration?

Could you tell me a way to generate a call with my AVM Fritz!Card PCI in
realtime (the call needs to be generated in the same moment I execute
the script...

Thanks,
Mattia.
