FREEBSD TELEPHONY
PROJECT
Currently this page has only references to information I'm finding helpful
in writing the application. The one sticking point to which several
people have lent possible solutions is the problem of shared access to
the modem or telephony device. One of the specifications of the project
state that the application should allow other processes to access the modem
when not actively being used by the application (e.g. when listening for
Caller-ID information from the device). Pseudo terminals were suggested
by two persons from the FreeBSD newsgroup (news:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc).
I am unable to find documentation on Linux' /dev/pty devices; if anyone
has manpages or related docs, I'd be eternally grateful if you sent a copy
to
me.
01-March-1999: Qt had beel selected
as the X toolkit to use for the GUI, since it uses C++, which is much more
OO than C. The dialer widget has been designed. The number
entry widget is next on the agenda; for now we'll use the QLineEdit widget
and later derive from it to add the telephone name/number-specific features
for entering names & numbers.
