The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I have been faced with an intiresting challenge recently and I thought I would throw it to the experts.  My company uses an IDCS 500 phone system, and I have been able to use a computer connected via null modem cable to the SMDR port.  Through this connection I am able to use Hyperterminal to capture data (outgoing call activity) and through an option in Hyperterminal I am able export the data to txt file.  My question is how do I script this.  It appears that the txt file does not get  written until the operation has been stopped.

Is there a way to just telnet into the phone system and shoot the activity to file every 8 hours??  I am very unfamiliar with Telnet capabilities.  I have been able to use telnet to connect via the internet to domain names to see if ports have been blocked, but have not the slitest clue how to connect via serial in a telnet session.  What do you think?
