We are trying to implement four PC7300's in a college English lab here in Utah, with one being used as a remote connection to a 3B2/400. My question is this: Is there a way to shut auto-answer off on the OBM? If not, is there a way to disable the modem completely during certain hours of the day? (we are sharing one line for voice/data). Any help would be appreciated! -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ NET:!ihun4!utah-cs!utah-g4!uplherc! _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ / sp7040!obie!wsccs!gvogel _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ "If a man is in a minority of one we lock _/_/ __________/ _/_/ him up."

Change the "respawn" entry for ph0 in /etc/inittab to "off". This will disable the getty on the modem, regardless of what the phone manager/UA set it to. (They normally enable/disable the port by putting a space or a colon in the first character of the line.) Dialling out and voice use will still work fine. -=] Ford [=- "Well, he didn't know what to do, so (In Real Life: Mike Ditto) he decided to look at the government, ford%kenobi@crash.CTS.COM to see what they did, and scale it ...!sdcsvax!crash!kenobi!ford down and run his life that way." -- Laurie Anderson

My guess is you are likely to get a zillion responses here, but anyhoo: The shell command getoff.sh ph0 should do exactly what you want. I normally run with the OBM configured for data on line 1, achieved with phtoggle, and have a getoff.sh after the phtoggle. If you want to control this by time of day just put getoff.sh ph0 and geton.sh ph0 commands into your crontab for whatever times you like. This should work. I'm sure there's a way to do this from ua, but I never used that contraption. -- Jim Rosenberg CIS: 71515,124 decvax!idis! \ WELL: jer allegra! ---- pitt!amanue!jr BIX: jrosenberg uunet!cmcl2!cadre! /

BETTER (in crontab):
off --
setgetty ph0 0
on --
setgetty ph0 1
if you have 3.51, you can also use phtoggle; i do.
i have cron switch the phone to data overnight and while i'm at work,
and back to voice when i'm home.
phtoggle's big limitation: you can't force it;
it only inverts the current setting.
if there's a power hit in the middle of the data period,
the pc will reboot in voice mode and switch to data at the next
cronned phtoggle when it should go to voice.
