I'm looking for a program that can be invoked by a user after login (ie, from his login script) that will cause the modem he called in on to hangup and then call him back at the number he provided to this program. Security is not the main issue... circumventing metered phone service at home is... Has anyone already invented such a piece of code for BSD or SYSV systems (IBM RS/6000 to be exact)..?? Thanks.

I don't know about IBM's system, but on System V there is a command called "ct" that does that. It will hang up the line and call you back and dump a login: on your terminal. (I used to use it to log someone in who had an answer-only modem) scott -- Scott J.M.
