[mh] mh speech through the a modem

[Craig <ar...@gm...>]

I recently installed a HAL PCI Voice Portal modem ( I use it to
pickup/hangup the phone on receipt of unknown callerid info) . I notice tha=
t
now when I start mh it displays the following:

Creating MS TTS object for voice_text=3DMSV5 ...
 - Sound card 1: SB Live! Wave Device
 - Sound card 2: Modem #2 Handset Playback
Win32::OLE(0.1501) error 0x80020009: "Exception occurred"
    in PROPERTYPUTREF "AudioOutput" at ../lib/Voice_Text.pm line 60
 - Sound card 3: Modem #2 Line Playback
Win32::OLE(0.1501) error 0x80020009: "Exception occurred"
    in PROPERTYPUTREF "AudioOutput" at ../lib/Voice_Text.pm line 60
 - Engine used:  msv5

It sort of appears that if I can eliminate the errors, I might be able to
have mh speak over the phone. The modem also has mini jacks for MIC and
SPKR. I tried connecting the output from the sound blaster to the MIC input
on the modem, but was not able to get any speech over the
phone.  Ultimatetly what I want to do is have mh answer the phone, play a
pre-recorded wav asking to be put on a do-not-call list, and then hang up.
Are there AT modem commands that I need to output? Anybody have any ideas o=
n
how to make this work? This particular mh host runs under Windows 2000.
