| Hello,
|
| I didnt understand very much what xringd do (i have read the man page...).

|
| If that is what it does, i have a question for the config file. There are come e
| xamples:
| R 1-5 R 20-26 R 30 : command
| Where R=`Ring'.
|
| How can i make a phone call that makes different sequences of rings?? I have nev

| call 2time, wait .... is that how it works??
|

Yes, that sequence means call let it ring(R) two times(the normal delay
between rings is 1-5 seconds), hang up, wait 20s, call let it ring once,
hang up, and then if ther is no ring for 30 seconds it will execute
command. This command could be pon from the pppd package to start your
dialup to the university or isp. There was a discussion on this over
the last week or two. In the /etc/ppp/ip-up.d directory create a shell
script that calls '/etc/init.d/xringd stop > /dev/null' and in the
/etc/ppp/ip-down.d directory create a shell script that run
/etc/init.d/xringd start > /dev/null'. It is necessary to restart the
xringd deamon so it regains control of the modem, thus the stop and
start.
Hope that helps,
Brian
