The phones we use at {JOB} can be programmatically controlled by using their proprietary command language, which is just CSV and each command is ended with a new line (Because how else would you do it, packet boundary pfft?).

It's something I've never understood why, why not use something more standard like SIP, or even a more structured message format. Having to parse CSV across N different packet boundaries is a royal PITA
