- SSPS - Smarter Serial Port Software
-
- Myself and the Co-Admin of exucom.com have written some
- applications for the SGI's that do the following:
-
- o Alter number of rings your modems answer on according to day
- of week and time of day. It also removes the bogus lock
- files that might still be in /usr/spool/locks for the serial
- ports.
-
- o Command line Audio Volume control that doesn't effect
- sampling rates like sfplay or playaiff do with empty aiff
- files.
-
- o Replacements for UUCP that will wait for other serial port
- traffic to stop and then grab the serial port for UUCP to
- use. (Very useful if you have serial ports that are in
- constant use for incoming/outgoing calls.)
-
-
- All of the above functions with or without the flex-fax
- software available via anonymous ftp to sgi.com.
-
- As far as price, E-Mail an offer. We would consider $25.00 to
- be about right... We're not sure if we should go with the shareware
- concept or what. In short, we're negotiable.
-
- In my opinion I think that SGI should make us an offer for the
- rights and bundle it with the OS. It solves an awful lot of problems
- as far as system administration. They make the system smart enough to
- babysit itself as far as serial IO, UUCP, and SLIP goes.
-
- These programs have been tested for over a year on an SGI
- R3000 Indigo and have been running solidly for 6 months. It's well
- out of Beta Test stage.
-
- These scripts are not provided by the company I work for, or
- any other commercial organization. (This is to clarify the point for
- the discussion in news.admin about commercial advertisements on USENET.)
