Use a modem to phone my cell phone

How to call my telephone using a Fedora/PHP server

[scraulb]

Does anybody know how to use Fedora/PHP to send a simple .wav file to a phone?

I have a Fedora server(with a phone modem) that checks for bugs and when it sees a bug I want to be able to call my phone to tell me. (not SMS)

Any help would be appreciated. I have looked thru the forums but cannot seem to find the answer.

I don't think that there is such an option under php. The only solution I can think of is writing such a program in c/c++ and only that running from the main server or php with exec [php.net] function.

hope this helps

PS. It surely isn't as simple as playing wav - remember, that cell coding is not a wav!

Thanks for the reply.

Is there a command line program in Fedora that can do this?

I don't think so.
You would have to write on your own. As I mentioned calling is a hard job.

Maybe just sending you a ring would be enough, but that's still hard to do, at least I don't know how to operate the modem, however there are diallers, so it's not as hard.

Maybe something like minicom could be used? Maybe there is something better?

i think file can be sent via MMS. In order to send file you'll have to use some online service API (which will be sending a file via mobile operator).
