Specify the time in seconds when message recording is stopped. (Default: "60")

Specify the PIN for the voice box when queried over the phone line. This should be a string capable of being entered via DTMF tones, thus consisting of 0-9, *, # only. The length is up to you.

Two special PINs may be set: an empty string disables all authentication, "-" will deny all authentication attempts.

(Default: "-")

This should be a script which is called whenever a new message is recorded. It is run with a single argument: the filename of the recorded message. Special environment variables are passed:

RINGMSN The local number of the voice box

CALLERMSN The remote number the message originates from

LENGTH The length in bytes of the uncompressed voice message. Since the sampling rate of the ISDN is fixed to 8000Hz divide this value by 8000 to get the length in seconds.

SEC_LENGTH The length in seconds of the voice message written as fixed point number. This is the same as LENGTH/8000.

SPOOLDIR The spool directory where the configuration of the voice box resides.

Specify the email address of the owner of this voice box. This address ist notified whenever a new message is recorded. It is interpreted by the default newmessage script. If you change that script this file may become useless. (Defaults: "root")

These are audio files which are used by the voice box automaton. You may replace them with your own recordings.

welcome.ulaw.gz - The welcome message

authok.ulaw.gz - "Authentication successful"

beep.ulaw.gz - A beep

nomoremessages.ulaw.gz - "No more messages available"

auth.ulaw.gz - "Please authenticate"

empty.ulaw.gz - "The voice box is empty"

removed.ulaw.gz - "Message deleted successfully"

This is not a configuration item but where the recorded messages are stored. You are free to delete any message from the voice box by issuing standard Unix commands like 'rm' inside this directory. The file names inside the directory include the Unix time, the local number and the originating number seperated by colons.
