PrivacyManager() Requires a caller to enter his phone number, if no Caller ID information is received
PrivacyManager([maxretries[,minlength[,options]]])

If no Caller ID is received, this application answers the channel and asks the caller to
enter his phone number. By default, the caller is given three attempts.
PrivacyManager() sets a channel variable named PRIVACYMGRSTATUS to either SUCCESS or
FAILURE. If Caller ID is received on the channel, PrivacyManager() does nothing.
If the options parameter is set to j and the caller fails to enter his Caller ID number,
the call will continue at priority n+101 (where n is the current priority).

The privacy.conf configuration file changes the functionality of the PrivacyManger()
application. It contains the following two lines:

maxretries
Specifies the maximum number of attempts the caller is allowed to input a Caller
ID number (default: 3).
minlength
Specifies the minimum allowable digits in the input Caller ID number (default: 10).
The maxretries and minlength settings may also be passed to the application as pa-
rameters. Parameters passed to the application override any settings in privacy.conf.
