PPP dialer with support for call waiting?

Post by Christian Caba » Sun, 26 Sep 1999 04:00:00



Does anyone know of a ppp dialer that uses call waiting to hang up when
incoming calls are detected.
I heard that such functionality was available in the Windoze world, and
was wondering
if such was available for Linux.

thanks,
Christian

It's not a functionality..
It just does it if the modem is *enoguh.

Check your modem manual.  By playing around with the AT commands in your
init string you should be able to change the sensitivity of the modem to
losses in carrier etc.  I remember doing this a few years back so my modem
*wouldn't* hang up when a call came in without having to go through dialing
*-whatever before actually dialing out.  This may not work with all modems,
though.  YMMV.

1. How to 'WAIT' in ppp ppp-on-dialer script?

Hey, I have a little problem which I can't find documentation for.
I am running Linux (pre 2.0 kernel) and ppp 2.2.0f.
My scripts in ppp-on-dialer work for two of my accounts with no
problem, but one account I have needs a 'wait' for about 3-5 seconds
and I can't find docs anywhere to tell you how to 'wait'.  In fact,
there is not much documentation for ppp-on-dialer anywhere
(that I can find).  So, anyone know how to 'wait' for a few seconds
in the ppp-on-dialer script?

Here is my script and I have noted where I need the wait:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# This is part 2 of the ppp-on script. It will perform the connection
# protocol for the desired connection.
#
exec chat -v                                            \
        TIMEOUT         3                               \
        ABORT           '\nBUSY\r'                      \
        ABORT           '\nNO ANSWER\r'                 \
        ABORT           '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r'    \
        ''              \rAT                            \
        'OK-+++\c-OK'   ATH0                            \
        TIMEOUT         30                              \
        OK              ATDT$TELEPHONE                  \
        CONNECT         ''                              \
# Here is where I need a pause since the server requires it
        "username>"--ogin: $ACCOUNT                \
        "password>"        $PASSWORD                       \
        "keys:"       '1'
