RE: [misterhouse-users] NetCallID.pl and phone_netcallerid.pl

That was the clue I was looking for...it works now!  Now to add in extra
things like pausing Winamp whenever the phone rings ;-)

There should have been <cr> between the last +++ and ---, from the 2nd to
last \n in this debug print in mh:

      print "  serial name=$port_name
type=$Serial_Ports{$port_name}{datatype}
data2=\n$Serial_Ports{$port_name}{data}\n---\n"

What version of mh do you have?

By default, the Serial_Item  'said' method will return data only when a \n
or \r (newline or linefeed) is detected.  In the case of my netcallerid, I
get a \r.  Here is the errata I see when running phone_netcallerid.pl:

--------------

  serial name=serial_netcallerid type= data2=
###DATE03162226...NMBR5072881030...NAMEWINTER BRUCE LA+++
---
NetCallerID data=###DATE03162226...NMBR5072881030...NAMEWINTER BRUCE LA

-------------

Sounds like for some reason yours is not sending \r, or someone the OS or
perl is dropping it.  You can override the 'break' from \n or \r to +++ with
this mh.ini parm:

  serial_netcallerid_break    = \+\+\+
