There are two things I would like to add.(Hope you find it interesting) 1. When I installed xringd, it could not find the modem and -m option did not work.So I recompiled xringd and explicitly defined modem device as /dev/ttyS1
2. When you start pon it resets the modem and after you do poff, xringd will NOT detect incoming calls. I did not find any clever way to overcome this problem, except making cron execute start-stop-daemon -stop -s HUP xringd every hour. This resets xringd and thus the modem. I do not know how generic such a situation is, but I thought you might find it interesting.. ZORO On Fri, 25 Sep 1998, Mike Acklin wrote: > On Fri, Sep 25, 1998 at 07:42:59AM -0600, Gary L.
