Welp, you can do "A" just by reading from the comm line -- the modem if it supports CallerID or ANI will spit out the phone number on ring. "B" get more complicated -- on windows there is a API for extended voicemail modems called TAPI. As far as I know there is no direct perl binding to that. An article that talks about managing a modem with perl in windows is here
now, your post makes me think you are trying to do this on unix. in that case Device::vgetty is the way to go. You can get "B" by using the "RECEIVE_DTMF" event. This will tell you what DTMF was received (0-9,*,#). There is a nice example of this in the POD for Modem::Vgetty. "A" then becomes diffucult because I do not think that vgetty reports callerid as an event -- nor have I found a way to pull that from the modem directly when vgetty is in control.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
