We really need something like "GNU phoneutils" ... a big package of command line utilities to control and manipulate a telephone.
I really, really want to do things like this:
cat file | sms -send -n 4157771234
grep mom addresses | awk (field with phonenumber) | dial --nobusy --retry 3
That is to say, I want a unix phone. I want to run the phone with unix and unix commands. Certainly not all of the time, but some of the time I would like the power to manipulate dialing/texting/answering in this way.
I am not aware of any utilities like this - collected in a big package or not ...
- dqv 10y agoYou could try freeswitch which has some fun cli stuff. mod_portaudio lets you make and take calls from your terminal (although you have to use fs_cli, but you can alias dial to fs_cli -x"pa call $1"). There are a few sms modules as well.
