Caller Id and win32::serial

Hi
I have a modem on my computer, and would like to log callerid from it,
I'm a complete novice at programming perl, but with reading the docs
I've managed to get to a stage using win32::serial module that I have
set the modem to recieve caller id, but I dont know how to just sit
and wait listening to the serial port, so I can process the data as it
arrives.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

First of all, if you connect a terminal program to the port, what
happens when you get a call? Does the modem print the caller info to
the terinal program screen?

Only if you are that far along does the perl matter.

Hi, I am developing an application where I need to read the caller id from an incoming call. The only info (for now) I need is the caller id info, so that I can display the propper caller info on screen if so desired. I was thinking on using asterisk (asterisk.org) for this with appropriate 2FXO/2FXS card but I do not know if this is just overkill (asterisk for this). Do you know of any other solution/way of getting the caller id and...

Hi all! I'm trying to write a program in python using the modules 'serialwin32' and 'thread' to create one thread that writes to a serial port and another one that reads from it at 'the same time'. My definitions are def NetworkToSerial(input): s.write(binascii.unhexlify(input)) print "SENT: %s" % input

I am updating a utility to capture serial port data that was originally developed as a DOS app using the outportb() and inportb() routines. I am trying to re-work it as a Win32 app using Borland C++ 5.02, but am finding that outportb() and inportb() are not available for a Win32 target. There is no fancy flowcontrol or packet protocols being used, just simply capturing incoming serial data. What is available to me for such simple...

I'd like to read ASCII data from a serial port, but (once again) I'm having trouble getting started. (Can't seem to find the basic level of docs to get going <sigh>) I'd like to use only standard "built-in" modules if possible. Could somebody offer a simple code-snippet to get me started reading from a serial port? Thanks!

I need to access the serial port via python on a windows machine. Reading on the web, there are three solutions: pyserial, siomodule and USPP. pyserial seems to be the best option since the other two are tested with Windows 95 and older versions of python. Would you agree with this or have I missed an option? Can anyone provide me an example of how to access the serial port with pyserial? Thanks
