In article <4urbmp$7el@opera.iinet.net.au>, Barrett Communications <barrett@opera.iinet.net.au> writes >I am looking for means of determining if a person has picked answered a >phone (normal analogue). > TOTAL SNIP It may not be of much help but - when you use Hg on indirect, you get a tone signal on answer. I have used this successfully to get credits from them when I have heard the beep - but no connection. Subsequent checking of account proved I was billed. This tone can be supressed on request and might (?) be available on direct connect calls. In the early days of my relationship with the lady with whom I now share my life - she knew it was me calling because none of her other friends used Hg. For some time I was called 'Beep'. (Just a diversion, it must be the silly season and the temperature tomorrow is going to be well into the 70s!) Voice Systems Specialist Simon C. Allen +44 (0)1442 842702
