asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Serial port DTMF Caller-ID reciever /w scripts for X100P/X101P/Clones....

Since the X100P/X101P/Clone cards does not work in all countries that 
use DTMF based
Caller-ID systems, I've developed a hardware that you connect to a 
serial port and the PSTN.

You then run a perl script "cid_logger.pl" as a daemon, and modify 
extensions.conf to call
an agi script whenever a call comes in, and if it's on the X100 card it 
will get the caller id
information collected by my cid daemon and return to asterisk in the 
CALLERID variable.

get_cid.pl should be but in asterisk agi-bin directory, and the 
following modifications should
be implemented in extensions.conf:

[from-pstn-reghours]   
exten => s,1,GotoIf($[${FAX_RX} = 
disabled]?from-pstn-reghours-nofax,s,1:2)   
exten => s,2,Answer
exten => s,3,agi,getcid.pl
;exten => s,3,Wait(1)

[from-pstn-afthours]
exten => s,1,GotoIf($[${FAX_RX} = 
disabled]?from-pstn-afthours-nofax,s,1:2)  
exten => s,2,Answer
exten => s,3,agi,getcid.pl
;exten=> s,3,Wait(1)

A picture of the finished project:

The circuit board layout was made with an old version of Tango PCB, but I've
included Postscript versions of both the silkscreen and the back of the board.

Care to elaborate? Which countries?
