I've realized after looking over a call accounting package, that is as basic as we want it to be, that all they are really doing is taking data off the serial port and putting it into an access database. I tried hyper terminal and sure enough the data comes in beautifully. So now I just need a way to go from that data to an access database and telling it that each column mean this or that. For example the first column is the long call indicator. The next few are the call start time.
The data is coming out of an old mitel sx-200 from the serial printer port in the rear. It was designed to hook up directly to a printer. If there is a nice little program out there that could do this I'd be very interested. The reason I'm not just buying the commercial software is that it is over $1000 and it really is just displaying the data.
Thanks for your thoughts.
