Re: [Bayonne-devel] Capabilities Question

[Luca Bariani]

Hi

Yes: Bayonne can easly do it :-)

with Bayonne you can make a call to your user and play some recordered audio 
(like "problem in system A", "network not available" and so on) or use a Text 
To Speech system to say "problem on system A: the error is XXXX"

this calls can be started from command line, from crond daemon, or whanether 
else, so your monitor system can say Bayonne to make the call

how many calls do you need at the same time? I think that with a 4-line board 
you can do everything you need

vocetronix or dialogic? they both work well

bye

Luca
