I would like to set up our SUN3 system so that users can call in and have
the machine call them back. Here's what we would like to do:
(1) User calls up a dial-up line. Some daemon hangs around listening
for the dial-up ports, and makes the connection.
(2) At this point, the machine offers a restrictive shell which
prompts the user for his login name and a password. Then it hangs
up the line.
(3) The machine looks up the user's name and ID in a particular file,
reads in his home phone number, and then calls him back.
If this sounds like a defender-type modem, it should; that's what we have in
mind. However, we would prefer to implement this in software for a wide
variety of generic modems.
I imagine that this type of scheme has been implemented before. If any kind
soul out there would like to donate his source code or explain (in great
detail!) how to go about setting this up, I would very much appreciate it.

The summary says it all...I am *VERY* interested in implementing this type of feature on a 4.3 BSD based network of Cimlinc CAD systems. We are bringing Sun's in as well, and would appreciate any information on 'how to' do this. -- Ray E.
