Has anyone attempted to translate short text messages into to audio file (or something like that), and send the result to a predetermined pbx/cell number via asterisk? I'm thinking in terms of an external application (something like an app that watches syslog messages) initiating a system support call to the individual responsible for whatever system generated that syslog msg, with some sort of option in * to dial a remote cell phone or whatever. Think I understand the * side of that well enough to know it can be done, but not sure about the text-to-voice app. Anyone have any ideas? Rich

As part of our need to be proactive about problems instead of reactive, my company has built a notification system around our apps that can trigger phone calls if that is what the user has requested when a notification is properly weighted to rise to that level of response. We also have a on call line that we can point to anyones phone. These responses can be pointed to our on call line and then redirect to the proper cell phone. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>

The calls are more for classes of errors that we are watching for. So the call is just to get our attention, and we usually also get the result of the event that caused notification in our email. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
