problem not with Ascendis

Some further investigation showed the problem was with the installation of some 3rd party software (not Windows update) that wasn't win7 compatible. Ascendis and Win7Enterprise-32bit work just fine.

Problem occurred while setting port timeouts

The Ascendis software has stopped processing incoming calls. All was working fine until I made an outgoing skype call (which was monitored). No calls were logged after that. I can't tell what the triggering cause might have been (skype call, Microsoft black tuesday upgrades at roughly the same time)...

Tried updating from 2.2.0.5 beta to 2.2.0.15 as I see Bill has been doing some work with modems, but no go. I looked in the line monitor, playsound() seems to be being called just fine with no errors, but still no sound out ... 01/30/2010 14:15:49.828 - [4764:Zoom v92 Data Fax Voice Modem] >>TCallSi...

phonesound on windows7?

I've just installed Win7 32bit Enterprise and Ascendis. All is working as previously under XP with the exception of phonesound(). The phone answers, but no sound is played. Modem is in TAPI mode (disabling this gives explicit message about phone not being able to play sounds in activity log: "T...

LINEERR_NODEVICE script error (cause)

I came across this error while debugging sound() and phonesound() scripts. To make a long story short, the error was caused by my using Windows XP builtin remote desktop to get to the machine hosting the modem and selecting the option to bring the sound to my remote machine. When I did this, sound()...

Hi Bill, RunWait works like a champ. Script above to generate on the fly text messages converted to speech for phonesound() using external Cepstral software is now: var CustomMessage : String = 'This is my custom message to be converted into a sound file.'; if FileExists('C:\testfile.wav') then Dele...

Re: Wav file out

I've found a workaround for the Run() command working in parallel and the script trying to play the sound file before it is generated. At first I thought I'd simply wait for the file to exist with a "repeat until FileExists('C:\testfile.wav');" command, but that doesn't work as the file is...

Re: Wav file out

I've tried the Cepstral software and it works well. There seems to be a problem using the run() command in DWS however. It seems run() spawns a parallel process and then continues executing the script. I can create the desired sound file to play a custom message with a call to the Cepstral software ...

Though the answering machine feature seems to be an old request without much activity, I'll 2nd it, even though I might still use a separate answering machine. This would let me white-list folks to ring through to my regular answering machine, grey-list numbers who are new or repeat calling to give ...

Action using new CallInfo members

Thanks for the new CallInfo members. I've written a short action that I now apply to numbers which continually call and don't leave messages on my answering machine. Every Nth message (N user configurable) the action plays a message which gives the caller notice that if they don't leave a message on...
