[net.unix-wizards] ct command

jpage@rruxe.UUCP (J. H. Page) (04/11/85)

i am trying to write a shell to call my terminal at home from the processor
at work.  (under nohup with a 60 second sleep)

when i try using the "ct" command it LCKs up the six ACUs that
we have access to.  

what i am looking for is a way to login from home without paying the 
connect charges.

any ideas????????



thanks in advance,

My expereince with ct was that it asks you if you want to drop the
current line.  Does your shell script provide input to answer this
prompt?  In fact, since you have to log in to invoke this shell, I
don't see any reason to not just run the ct command without nohup.

A second suggestion is to voucher the phone calls with your company.
This is also cheaper for all concerned because your residential
rates will surely be lower than the business rates billed to a
company.
