- The subject refers to smart modems, like the ZyXel. This modem can decode
- selective ringing prior to answering the incoming call by sending RING, or
- RING2 to the host. It can also determine if the incoming call is data or
- fax by sending different CONNECT messages and can include caller ID info with
- the CONNECT.
-
- I have two problems:
- 1. I need to set up a Unix system so that an incoming fax call, as determined
- by the CONNECT message, will automatically log in a pre-configured user
- whose .login will start an application to receive the fax.
-
- I also need to do the same thing based on the selective ring. IOW, if the
- modem said RING2 prior to connect then autologin a different pre-configured
- user.
-
- Normal data calls get given a normal login.
-
- 2. In any case, _including for a normal data call_, I want to capture the
- caller ID information and make it available to the process after login.
-
- I can see how to do these IF I have the source for login, and perhaps getty.
- Someone on comp.bbs commented that it could be done without the source.
-
- How???
