FritzNotify is a desktop-application to handle call-signaling from callmon (running on an AVM-Fritz!Box). 

To activate callmon and its port 1012 use the code "#96*5*" on a phone connected to your Fritz!Box.

It supports output in english and german. By default german will be used as the Fritz!Box is mainly used in germany.
It uses notify-send to inform about incoming calls, outgoing calls and terminated calls.
It asks www.tellows.de for the ranking of the calling number.
For incoming calls, espeak and mbrola (alongside with lame and mpg123 to output the mbrola-speech-output) are used to read the number and the score reported by tellows.de out loud.
While a call is active, the speakers get muted.
Therefore: If you listen to music from your computer but are not in front of it at all times, you
dont't need to mute the music before picking up the phone.

FritzNotify expects up to two alsa-configured soundcards (like i have). If you have even more
soundcards, i guess you know what you are doing and are aware of what needs to be done to mute
those other soundcards as well. ;-) (e.g. tweak fritznotify-mute-all and fritznotify-unmute-all)

espeak (and mpg321, which outputs the mbrola-speech-output) outputs on the default soundcard (pulsaudio on recent systems).

FritzNotify uses either an icon downloaded from the users fritzbox or an icon from iconspedia.com. To use the AVM-icon, the user must have a running FritzBox!, else iconspedia will be used.
Please refer to the AUTHORS-file for license- and author-information of those icons.
These icons are not to be distributed alongside FritzNotify, hence they are neither in the tarball nor in any of the rpms. They will be downloaded during install.

Installation with yum is possible with my repo:

Have fun with FritzNotify!

:wq ;-)
