[net.unix-wizards] ct for 4.2 ???

morse@leadsv.UUCP (06/05/85)

I understand that ct is a program that will dial a specified phone
number, connect with a remote modem, and give the remote terminal
a login shell.  I guess its name stands for CALL TERMINAL.  I
believe that it runs under System V.

Does anybody have it running on 4.2?  Could you tell how I can get
it running on our 4.2 VAX?  Please respond by mail, as I don't
subscribe to these news groups.

Thanks...

I have received several responses to my initial request, but they have all
been requests for the same thing.  I am looking for a way to call up a
modem from a 4.2 system, and then allow the person at the other end of
that modem to log in to our system.

There has to be a way to use cu or tip to do this, which would include a
simple shell script to open up a pseudo-tty.  PLEASE respond if you know
how such a thing may be done.  It should be pretty easy for one of you
wizards out there.

This has applications in saving phone bills for employees, but it also is a
neat way of preventing unauthorized dial ins.  My phone budget will be
eternally grateful.
