    I wanted to implement a call blocking script while using output from ncid.  Simply use the modem to answer then hangup.  However, ncidd takes the /dev/ttySx file and I can't issue the modem AT commands to do this.  Any idea's?

      NCIDD honors the locking file, so for instance, if you use minicom while NCIDD is running, NCIDD will release the modem and reconnect when minicom is finished. If needed, the proper locking file can be configured in /etc/ncidd.conf.

      NCIDD will disconnect when it sees a locking file, and reconnect when it goes away, so all you need to do is generate the lock file first, then connect and talk to the modem, then disconnect, then remove the lock file.

      It would be nifty if ncidd implemented the call blocking functionality. Just supply a configuration file with names and/or numbers to be blocked and matching callers will be answered and disconnected after the first ring. It should still send the call information to connected clients and log the call.

        I'd like to see this feature, too.
