KdeAm updated.
I recently upgraded the kernel on my workstation to kernel 2.6.8 and, of course, some things didn’t work as they had previously. One of those things was the ISDN card (which was previously using the ISDN2Linux tools). So, I took the opportunity to switch over to using CAPI instead. Which required upgrading KdeAm (the KDE answering machine) to read the files produced by CapiSuite. CapiSuite of course doesn’t use the same format for the audio files as vbox, nor does it store them in the same place, so there are a few modifications to be done.
KdeAm just plays the message files and provides a simple admin interface to it. But of course CAPI is a great interface to the whole ISDN subsystem so it should be possible to move the whole answering machine over to making direct use of CAPI and therefore provide a full answering machine interface.

Unfortunately, my early experiments with this idea have ended with me being able to connect to the CAPI system but not actually be able to do anything usefule with it… for some reason after registering my app with the sub-system, it refuses to actually send any messages to my app. I suspect its a permissions thing… we shall see.
