[Discuss] Another telephone question

Hi.  :-)

Does anyone know how to mess with pppconfig, or efax, or perhaps
know of some other FAXmodem software that will use the modem to
dial a number, but *won't* attempt to do any sort of handshaking
when someone [or their answering machine] picks up?

I want to write a script that will read from a database of
telephone numbers, and call them on demand.  So, for example,
when I type;
	p0n dad
at the terminal, it will call my Dad.  :-)

Any guesses?  Has someone already done something like this?



Thanks,

Patrick.
