folks, ipppd/isdnlog is very capable of callerid, and i wrote a script to notify the workstations on our intranet of incoming calls. most of the workstations used to be windoze, so i used smbclient to write to winpopup, but as time goes by, users grow smarter and debian is slowly replacing all windoze machines.
now i am looking for a way to push a notification onto a user's desktop. the simplest server i can come up with: while true; do xmessage "`nc -l -p 12345`"; done this is an invitation of DoS attacks, but this is the LAN, so i don't really care. however, xmessage is butt-ugly. but i won't use linpopup and the SMB protocol underneath, pardon me. is there anything you can think of that will accomplish this job? it has to be quick and no resource hog. suggestions? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] your fly might be open (but don't check it just now).
