Hi people, as i just finished a current version of mantis got it uploaded by Daniel (thanks for that!) i have re-started working on smstools. Because the upstream author and me detected that installation can lead into a defunct state (because smsd is started, even though maybe there is no appropriate config), i thought about implementing a series of debconf questions to preconfigure smsd if the user wants to do so. Thats no problem so far. But there is one thing I'm not sure how to implement. Users can use up to 32 modems with smstools. Even though i don't think that is a common setup i would like to give them a chance to configure more than one modem. But i am a bit unsure how to do this. Off course i know that i can loop in my config script, but how to ask several questions again and again and store the answers so i can process them in the postinst? I heard about the db_register command, but i haven't seen a concrete example so far and so i am a bit curious about how to do this. Thanks for any help Best Regards Patrick
