Thank you for your reply. I eventually realised I had the solution to
hand all the time. That was after a night's sleep!

I was originally using linphonecsh but switched to using the --pipe
option with linphonec. This creates a unix socket (not a pipe) in /tmp
which can be accessed through another program. Sending 'echo 2', 'echo 9'
etc via this this program gets to linphonec.

Brief details if they help anyone:

empty -f -i in.fifo -o out.fifo nc -U /tmp/linphonec-1000

Linux, of course. empty is in Debian's empty-expect package and nc is
netcat, the openbsd version.

Cheers,

Brian.
