[comp.dcom.modems] usage of "ct"

greil@guug.guug.de (Anton Greil) (01/16/91)

I want to use the program "ct" from the UUCP package for interactive callbacks.

If I call a UNIX-host from my UNIX-PC with a modem and "cu" to order "ct" on 
the host to call back my PC, then:

1. In which state are the PC and the modem, when the host forces its first 
   hangup to get the line free for the callback?
   I think I have to stay in the cu session (in dial-out mode) and wait
   for the dial-in of the callback. What about the handling of the control 
   lines, especially DCT ?


2. In BNU: 
   Can ct be a "service" in /usr/lib/uucp/Sysfile like cu or uucico 
   - if it were neccessary to give a special initialization of the 
   modem for ct in /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers ? 

   How good is ct integrated in the UUCP package (BNU) ? 


Who has worked with ct and can give me some hints ?
Thank you very much!
