I know exactly how to do this, but it's a bit complicated. /msg me your 'phone number and I'll talk you through it.

If it's complicated, it may be interesting to produce a tutorial.
You might then teach not only neozoki, but also all the interested monks...

It may be the negative part of me talking here, but I have the impresion that George_Sherston had the idea to write the script and then let it call Neozuki.
Repeatedly... Once every X minutes. For n days...
But then again, it must be me having very bad thoughts about George_Sherston. Sorry, George. Won't happen again. :-)

Much as I wd like to claim the high-minded motivations that arhuman attributes to me... I fear I must acknowledge that Biker's got my number (figuratively, I hasten to add) ;)

An alternate method for communicating with serial port devices would be through the use of Device::SerialPort for *nix-based systems (through the termios library) or Win32::SerialPort for windows-based systems.

My answer doesn't have much to do with perl, but
there is a tool that does well with this sort of
thing.
Kermit is a general
purpose modem/file transfer/communications tool.
I noticed a kermit script called callstats that you could cut and paste from. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

There is something called a "War Dialer". Most of you have probably heard of this type or program. There is probably even a few written in perl. Some will tell you if a modem, fax, human, or answering machine picked up. If you are motivated enough, just search for one. They are available. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

I think what our friend Neozuki really means is he needs a script to dial a number and hang up if her father answers.
