Hello Everyone, I have a quick question about linux/debian. Does anyone know of a way or a program that if you call your Modem (With it being offline), it will monitor the port and if it sees "RING", the system will automagically start pon?
What I am trying to do is have my home computer on and connected to a separate line, and be offline. Then if I need something from my computer from work or somewhere else besides home, I can dial my home number, the system will see an incoming call, the start the ppp/pon so I can telnet, ftp, web, to my machine. Kinda like diald in reverse. Has anyone ever heard of such? Just wondering as I was looking through dselect and didn't see anything. I am running Debian Slink, diald, pppd, I have slip and ppp compiled into the 2.0.35 kernel. If you have, please let me know. Thanks... Mike
