You should always include the ncidd startup file. Startup ends with
End of startup: <date> <time>
The provided startup information is the ncidd command line and configuration, your OS, and your modem.
The easiest way to provide it is using this command line:
ncidd -Dv3 -L T-log -P T-pid -H 1
In your case I also need the log file to contain a call with the problem. You can edit the telephone number as you did before but best if you use something like 9375551212. The number in the black list must match the number in cidcall.log. If you have a dash in your blacklist number, that is the reason it does not match.
No need to be root if you can write in the current directory. Abort with <CTRL><C> after you reach end of startup or after a test call. The ncidd startup will be in T-log.
If you try to view the VSM values with minicom, the modem to be placed in voice mode. After minicom connects to the modem, this should work for you:
at+fclass=8
at+vsm=?
at+vsm=130
When you have a problem, use hangup mode 1 as in the above command line just in case the problem is in the modem voice mode.

There were some phone numbers in /var/log/cidcall.log,
but not the latest one from my cell phone. Was it due to
your recommended debugging startup command line?
I edited ncidd.conf to 'hangup=1'.
restarted ncidd with your arguments. Started ncid and when
I called from my cell phone I watched more than 3 rings occur without a hangup.
I replaced my cell phone number with 9375551212.

Your problem is shown by this line in the T-log file:
Checked Blacklist for match flag=0 ret=0 nmbrmatch=0
The ret=0 says your call did not match the number in the blacklist. Please check the entry in the memory table using ncidd -Dv8. Compare it to the name received in the CID line. You need to determine why the match fails. Maybe you have a unprintable character like a <CR>.
One thing to try if you are matching on the name. Match instead on the number. The quotes around the name maybe causing the problem,

You seem to have compiled NCID. I do not know if you reviewed the generic install in the NCID User Manual but some parts are somewhat confusing and will be improved on the website.
If compiling for Linux Mint, you could do
make package
sudo make package-install
but Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu so you should instead do
make ubuntu
sudo make ubuntu-install
Your problem is you are adding the phone number to /etc/ncid/ncidd.blacklist when the ncidd server is using /usr/local/etc/ncid/ncidd.blacklist. Your T-log file specified the location by the line:
The fix is to compile and install as above so the files are placed in /usr and /etc instead of /usr/local. Better yet, if your processor is 64 bit, download the server deb package from NCID at sourceforge and install it. Refer to the Ubuntu DEB Package Install
In the future, please attach files instead of posting them.

I just noticed, a few minutes ago, the
/etc/ncid/
.vs.
/usr/local/etc/ncid/
mishap. This I can work around.
I can create a soft link in /etc/ncid to /usr/local/etc/ncid .
I do have a 64 bit cpu and 64 bit kernel on the current host (my LAMP server).
However, it is likely that I will also try 'ncid' out on my Raspberry Pi(s).
I would like to have the locations of the configuration files as similar as practical
among all my hosts [home server,
other hosts as ncid-clients, and
Raspberry Pi(s) as portable server/client].
You recommended using a 'DEB package install. At https://sourceforge.net/projects/ncid/files/ncid/1.6/
I see many files including
'ncid-client_1.6-1_all.deb'.
However, I do not see a 'ncid-server*.deb' file.
:-| ?
I am baffled as to what I need, how to compile it, and where to configure it.
:-|
I have tried
make
sudo make -install
where * = each of package, debian, ubuntu
but ncidd -Dv8 always indicates the ncidd.blacklist file is in /usr/local/etc/ncid/
do I need a 'make clean' or 'make dist-clean' between each trial?

Is there a particular reason you wanted to compile NCID from source instead of using the available packages?
We do take feedback about the documentation very seriously, and your comments would be from the unique perspective of someone setting up NCID for the first time. It would be helpful to eventually know what important pieces of information you wish the documentation had communicated, either something that was inadvertently ommitted or that requires clarification.
NCID has a lot of documentation and we're conscious of the fact that the HTML version especially is not always easy to navigate. I'm hoping we can eventually switch to http://www.mkdocs.org/ but its current version would require a lot of work and would significantly break the automatic procedures John has in place for releasing new versions of NCID.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You need to do a make clobber when doing a new compile and install. When compiled, ncidd has the configuration files locations hard coded. A make and install places packages in /usr/local. Do a make for usage on the various make and install types.
The ncid package contains the server and support programs. The other packages are marked ncid-client, ncid-gateways, etc. Here are the server programs for Ubuntu and Raspbian (Raspberry Pi):
ncid_1.6-1_amd64.deb (64 bit server package)
ncid_1.6-1_armhf.deb (Raspbian server package)
The noarch deb packages can be used with either server, they are scripts.
When you compile NCID, you make the entire system, but when you use the deb or rpm packages you only install what is needed. If you compile review my previous post.
You should review the online NCID User Manual which provides guidence on getting started with NCID and using various options. We encourage feedback to help improve it.
The ncidd server configuration files between Ubuntu and Raspbian are interchangable provided you did not modify the configuration file for something specific to Ubuntu or Raspbian. For example, maybe the modems require different init scripts or each system has specific options.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Will
sudo dpkg -i ncid_1.6-1_amd64.deb
overwrite ncidd and then ncidd will no longer be looking in
/usr/local/etc/ncid/ and
/usr/local/share/ncid/
for .conf, .alias, .blacklist, .whitelist, /extensions/, and /recordings/
?
Meanwhile, I'll be re-reading the manual.
Oh, by the way, I have a new error:
The folder 'lockdev' does not exist as in
/var/lock/lockdev/LCK..modem
.
A log is attached.
( I had to allow <script> from 'truste.com' to include an attachment. )
The new error is beccause you do not have permission to write in the /var/lock/lockdev directory. When debugging you need to use the option -l T-lck if you want to play a recording or run ncidd as root using sudo.
The dpkg command will install the package but you need to review INSTALL-Ubuntu or INSTALL-Raspbian Method 3 in the INSTALL or UPGRADE section. The package will overwrite /usr/sbin/ncidd so it will look into /usr and /etc for files.

However, there is still no hangup.
Still hoping to send a *.rmd file to blacklisted callers.
Your problem is shown by this line in the T-log file:
The ret=0 says your call did not match the number in the blacklist. Please check the entry in the memory table using ncidd -Dv8. Compare it to the name received in the CID line. You need to determine why the match fails. Maybe you have a unprintable character like a <CR>.
One thing to try if you are matching on the name. Match instead on the number. The quotes around the name maybe causing the problem,
Thanks.
Hmmm, maybe I am not understanding the syntax in ncidd.blacklist.
ncidd -Dv8 displays the 18 default blacklist expressions, but not the number I added.
Below is 'etc/ncid/ncidd.blacklist' and 'T-log'.
ncidd.hangup blacklist file
File last changed: Jul 4, 2016
This file contains the names or numbers of telephone calls to
be terminated automatically using the hangup option.
Definitions and Line format
The number must be a string of digits as they appear in
/var/log/cidcall.log. A leading '1' is required if it is
in /var/log/cidcall.log.
A partial name or number can match.
There are three types of lines: blank, comment, and entry
Blank lines and comment lines are ignored.
Entry lines are processed.
Entry lines contain one or more expressions and an
optional comment. An expression is either a string of
non-blank characters or everything between double quotes.
Multiple expressions are separated by spaces. A comment
must be last.
If a number or name begins with a '#' it bust be inside double quotes.
Entry line comments are either normal comments or match name comments.
A normal comment begins with a '#' and must not be immediately
followed by an equals sign. Anything after the '#' is ignored.
A match name comment begins with '#=' and is followed by a name to
display for the caller when the entry matches either the number
or name of a call. Do not use double quotes around the name.
NOTES
- Each expression is compared to the caller name and number.
- If simple expressions are used (regex = 0 in ncidd.conf):
* A '^' at the beginning an expression means it must match
at the start of a name or number
* A "^1?" at the beginning makes a leading 1 optional.
This is only useful for US numbers.

Chuck,
You seem to have compiled NCID. I do not know if you reviewed the generic install in the NCID User Manual but some parts are somewhat confusing and will be improved on the website.
If compiling for Linux Mint, you could do
but Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu so you should instead do
Your problem is you are adding the phone number to /etc/ncid/ncidd.blacklist when the ncidd server is using /usr/local/etc/ncid/ncidd.blacklist. Your T-log file specified the location by the line:
The fix is to compile and install as above so the files are placed in /usr and /etc instead of /usr/local. Better yet, if your processor is 64 bit, download the server deb package from NCID at sourceforge and install it. Refer to the Ubuntu DEB Package Install
In the future, please attach files instead of posting them.

Thanks.
I just noticed, a few minutes ago, the
/etc/ncid/
.vs.
/usr/local/etc/ncid/
mishap. This I can work around.
I can create a soft link in /etc/ncid to /usr/local/etc/ncid .
I do have a 64 bit cpu and 64 bit kernel on the current host (my LAMP server).
However, it is likely that I will also try 'ncid' out on my Raspberry Pi(s).
I would like to have the locations of the configuration files as similar as practical
among all my hosts
[home server,
other hosts as ncid-clients, and
Raspberry Pi(s) as portable server/client].
You recommended using a 'DEB package install. At
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ncid/files/ncid/1.6/
I see many files including
'ncid-client_1.6-1_all.deb'.
However, I do not see a 'ncid-server*.deb' file.
:-| ?
I am baffled as to what I need, how to compile it, and where to configure it.
:-|
I have tried
make
sudo make -install
where * = each of package, debian, ubuntu
but ncidd -Dv8 always indicates the ncidd.blacklist file is in /usr/local/etc/ncid/
do I need a 'make clean' or 'make dist-clean' between each trial?
Hi Chuck,
Is there a particular reason you wanted to compile NCID from source instead of using the available packages?
We do take feedback about the documentation very seriously, and your comments would be from the unique perspective of someone setting up NCID for the first time. It would be helpful to eventually know what important pieces of information you wish the documentation had communicated, either something that was inadvertently ommitted or that requires clarification.
NCID has a lot of documentation and we're conscious of the fact that the HTML version especially is not always easy to navigate. I'm hoping we can eventually switch to http://www.mkdocs.org/ but its current version would require a lot of work and would significantly break the automatic procedures John has in place for releasing new versions of NCID.
You need to do a make clobber when doing a new compile and install. When compiled, ncidd has the configuration files locations hard coded. A make and install places packages in /usr/local. Do a make for usage on the various make and install types.
The ncid package contains the server and support programs. The other packages are marked ncid-client, ncid-gateways, etc. Here are the server programs for Ubuntu and Raspbian (Raspberry Pi):
The noarch deb packages can be used with either server, they are scripts.
When you compile NCID, you make the entire system, but when you use the deb or rpm packages you only install what is needed. If you compile review my previous post.
You should review the online NCID User Manual which provides guidence on getting started with NCID and using various options. We encourage feedback to help improve it.
The ncidd server configuration files between Ubuntu and Raspbian are interchangable provided you did not modify the configuration file for something specific to Ubuntu or Raspbian. For example, maybe the modems require different init scripts or each system has specific options.
Will
sudo dpkg -i ncid_1.6-1_amd64.deb
overwrite ncidd and then ncidd will no longer be looking in
/usr/local/etc/ncid/ and
/usr/local/share/ncid/
for .conf, .alias, .blacklist, .whitelist, /extensions/, and /recordings/
?
Meanwhile, I'll be re-reading the manual.
Oh, by the way, I have a new error:
The folder 'lockdev' does not exist as in
/var/lock/lockdev/LCK..modem
.
A log is attached.
( I had to allow <script> from 'truste.com' to include an attachment. )
The new error is beccause you do not have permission to write in the /var/lock/lockdev directory. When debugging you need to use the option -l T-lck if you want to play a recording or run ncidd as root using sudo.
The dpkg command will install the package but you need to review INSTALL-Ubuntu or INSTALL-Raspbian Method 3 in the INSTALL or UPGRADE section. The package will overwrite /usr/sbin/ncidd so it will look into /usr and /etc for files.
