Thanks for the link -- although I am using Linphone 1.7.1 at the  
moment, they give me some ideas...

A friend of mine was playing around with modifying the Linphone code  
so that the command interface inside of the CLI version acted as a  
FIFO  that you could write commands to from the bash shell just by  
talking to the UNIX socket in /tmp.  It seemed to work well to a  
degree and also allowed for such things as DTMF codes to be entered  
during the call by the user without having to directly interact with  
linphonec.  However, his patches only worked on 1.35, and we have a  
desire to use the newer linphone because it works much better as far  
as sound / call quality with our server than the 1.35 version did.
