[ale] Still more mgetty + CID questions

It is on 6.2 at least.  As long as you didn't recompile mgetty/vgetty, that 
*SHOULD* be where the conf files are located.

Again, I can only speak for 6.2.  The cnd-program is defined in 
mgetty.config.

It should send the info prior to answering the phone.  Just a few 
"debugging" suggestions:
1.  In your script file, put "touch /tmp/testing" at the top.
2.  init q (to reload if you are starting in inittab)
3.  Call your phone.
4.  If the file /tmp/testing exists, it is working.
5.  When that doesn't work :) try turning up the debug level in mgetty / 
vgetty to junk.
6.  init q
7.  Call your phone.
8.  Search through the debug file (in /var/log/) for "cnd" and see if any 
errors are reported.
9.  If that doesn't work, there is a mgetty list that I'm on and could send 
you the info... they should definitely be able to help.

Good luck,
Jason
