My partner recently asked if I could receive a FAX for her. Sadly, I had to tell her that, while I can send faxes, I couldn't easily receive them. I do have a multifunction printer with FAX capability, but I have not designed my "Receptionist" dialplan to handle incoming faxes. And so, admitting that failing, I skulked back to my cave, and did some research.

With the telephony hardware installed and configured, and Asterisk in place, I found myself at the point where I could turn to my favourite topic: the software. And, even at the simplest, I had a lot of software to keep me busy. Luckily enough, I had the time.

Back in 2016, a question came up in one of the groups as to how you would code a pipeline in C. The requestor wanted C code equivalent to the shell pipeline
- echo "Hello World" | tr "a-z" "A-Z" | sort | rev
Since I hadn't actually attempted before to write such a pipeline in C, I gave it a try. I came up with a couple of variations, which I never posted back to the newsgroup.
Recently, another question reminded me of my code. So, rather than let it moulder in my collection of coding bits, I post it here as a reference:

So, I physically installed the TDM410P telephony card, and now I needed to install some device drivers to run it. And, here I got into the fun stuff: software. This TDM410P clone card came with little documentation, and no software of any kind, so I had to find the driver source code, compile it, install it, configure it, load it and use it.

Telephony slowly moves from the Alexander Graham Bell, two copper wires leading to the house stage of it's life into the more flexible, more portable over the internet, in my pocket stage. And I, even more slowly, move with it. I still want a home phone, and I want to tinker, and I have nothing better to do.
