Dear Sirs, I was using the excellent gPhoto program that is shipped with RedHat Linux - the program that is able to unload a picture taken with a digital camera in computer. And I suddenly become curious if someone thought about using a code of this type for a similar operation (see below). I'm not able to do this myself, since I'm not really a programmer, but I think some people may be interested in the ideea. There are many external modems on the market that know how to record voice/fax/data messages while the PC is turned off. An example is the 3Com U.S. Robotics 56K Message Modem, a very robust model. Basically, what a modem like that does is to "unload" the recorded messages in the PC when that is turned on, saving them on disk as .wav files (or another sound file format). The "unloading" operation is performed using a piece of Windows software :-( that comes with the modem (please see http://www.supervoice.co.uk), through the regular serial port (usually COM2). As far as I know, there is no corresponding Linux software for that operation. IMHO, that seems pretty similar to unloading a .jpeg picture from a digital camera, as gPhoto does. What is possible for a picture won't be possible for a sound file? Of course, I don't know yet if there is a standardised interface for downloading the recorded messages, hardware specs available or so. It's just an ideea. Thanks, Razvan -- Dipl. Eng.
