[comp.sys.att] UNIX PC Phone Manager /etc/ph & OBM

lenny@quincy.UUCP (Lenny Tropiano) (08/05/87)

Does anyone have a program that will switch VOICE 1: IDLE to DATA 1
for a single-line configuration system.  I would like to use the
telephone line for voice/data.  At certain times (late night) automatically
using the cron facility.

					Thank you,
					Lenny Tropiano

This capability is present in the Version 3.51 maintenance release of
software for the UNIX PC.

When is the maintenance release going to be made available -
or has it been already?  Does one get it from the Hotline?

I have 3.51 right now ... it was delivered with the 3b1 which I
just ordered and has just arrived (YESTERDAY!).

The Phone manager also has a cutesy new icon in the shape of a telephone
which sits at the top of the screen.  Selecting this (with a double
click) pops up a window that has a touch-tone phone pad in it and
you dial the phone by hitting numbers on this pad...

Also ... something in 3.51 (either the communications patch, or just
a better driver) makes the built-in modem able to talk to a class of
modems it previously hadn't been able to talk to.  Our Multi-Tech
2400 baud modems we have on campus.  The handshaking tones weren't
done properly and it wouldn't handshake right.  Now it does.  Yay!

Another new thing is that popping up 12 windows now works.  (I've
been told that in 3.5 it doesn't work).  Warning ... the machine
gets really really really slow with 12 windows running.  I'm not
sure ... I'll tell you after I upgrade to 4 megs if it's still slow.

After poking around a bit I found that phtoggle will do what you want.
This is on version 3.51.

I'm not sure how you'd check though to be certain which mode you're in.
But with care that might not be a real problem.

OK.  I've been reading about the joys of V3.51.  Were we supposed to get
an upgrade notice in the mail or should we give old operator 902 another
call?  It this upgrade available to the real world (non-AT&T) and if so,
at what cost?

Sorry folks, I called 902 last week.  The skinny is full price! I was so 
upset that I havent thought about it untill I read this article. I have
been experiencing the midnight crash due to the Combo board and UUCP and
3.5.1 is the fix for this, but even though I have had LOTS of calls into
the Hotline, I still have to pay FULL price for the "Maintenance Upgrade".

To get the UNIX PC operating system (no longer a maintenance release) 3.51
call Linda Fry (Imfamous Operator 902) at 800-432-6600 to order it.  I
haven't had much luck getting through... she's usually not at her desk :-<
Part #105360309

As far as the HOTLINE says, UNIX PC operating system 3.51 fixes some of the
bad bugs found in the communication. (ie. the Phone Manager)  But on
the other hand they do not know of any fix to the phone manager to allow
toggling of the LINE SELECT (VOICE/DATA) without touching the F3 button
in the phone manager.  Although they did add some cute enhancements?!

There are also enhancements/bug fixes to the compiler.  Which means another
expense to developers!!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, they are not giving any promotional deals,
like "Send the 1st diskette of the Foundation Set, and 1st diskette of
the Development Set" and $95.00 for the package.  The HOTLINE indicates there
is NO PROMO, and the cost is $275.00 for Foundation Set + $xxx.00 for the 
Development Set?  This is crazy since people like us (AT&T VARS) just finished
upgrading all our customers UNIX PC's from 3.0 -> 3.5... and now here's 3.51!
I wouldn't mind the usual $95.00 + tax for the OS and Development Set to
cover cost of shipping and handling.

Oh well... AT&T strikes again!!

Can anyone please tell me how to get a PC7300 to dial PULSE
instead of TONE. (my local exchange doesnt take tone).

I have tried various things off the Administration and Hardware
Management menus, but I still hear tweedle-deedle-beep-boop-boop
out the speaker instead of rickety-tickity-tickety-click-click-click.

Please reply by mail.  I don't read this group regularly.

You have to unset DTMF and set PULSE in the c_lineparam in the struct updata,
then do the ioctl( fd, PIOCSETP, &lineparam). I have no idea how to
persuade the phone manager to do this though, although I'd guess that if you
edit /etc/.lineone (or .linetwo as appropriate) and change the line which
says TT1=YES to TT1=NO then kill -17 the phone manager, something might break.

If you log in as install, and go into "Administration", then "Hardware
Setup", then "Telephone Setup", you will get a fabulous UA menu that asks
you if your phone is "Touch Tone" or not.  If you change this to "No" the
machine will dail pulse.

This option only shows up in the office of install along with several other
things you don't see.  You can get these for yourself by linking
"/u/install/Administration" and "/u/install/Software" to your $HOME
directory.
