This person's UNIX pc (3.51) had been happily dialing out touch tone
and receiving calls - until one day when it stopped accepting calls
and started dialing dial pulse ... The owner says he's not aware
of having done anything to effect either change. The computer
is now accepting calls again, fortunately, but it continues to
dial pulse. How can this guy reset his computer so that it will
dial touch tones instead of pulses?

After you change anything here you must send a SIGPHONE signal (21) to the phone manager process. ie: (assuming your root) # kill -21 <pid_of_ph> This will have the phone manager to update its internal parameters. If this doesn't work, I'm not sure where else to look. -Lenny -- ============================ US MAIL: Lenny Tropiano, ICUS Computer Group IIIII CCC U U SSSS PO Box 1 I C C U U S Islip Terrace, New York 11752 I C U U SSS PHONE: (516) 968-8576 [H] (516) 582-5525 [W] I C C U U S AT&T MAIL: ...attmail!icus!lenny TELEX: 154232428 IIIII CCC UUU SSSS UUCP: ============================ ...{uunet!godfre, harvard!talcott}!\ ...{ihnp4, boulder, mtune, bc-cis, ptsfa, sbcs}! >icus!lenny "Usenet the final frontier" ...{cmcl2!phri, hoptoad}!dasys1!/

I ran into this problem and put "phone2tone" into /etc/rc. Here is the source. Please don't offer a lot of criticism on style or flexibility; this is offered as is with no warranty of any sort. But it worked for me... /********************************************************************** * EMACS_MODES: c !fill tabstop=4 * * This program sets the modem to tone dialing rather than the power-up * default of pulse dialing. **********************************************************************/ #include <stdio.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/phone.h> #include <errno.h> main(argc,argv) int argc; char *argv[]; /* needed for program name in error messages */ { int fd; /* file descriptor from open() */ struct updata data; /* defined in sys/phone.h */ /* Open up the modem, so that ioctl() can be called */ if((fd = open("/dev/ph1",O_RDWR|O_NDELAY)) <= 0) { fprintf(stderr,"%s: open failed, fd=%d errno=%d\n", argv[0],fd,errno); exit(errno); } /* Get the current parameters */ if(ioctl(fd,PIOCGETP,&data) < 0) { fprintf(stderr,"%s: ioctl(PIOCGETP) failed, errno=%d\n", argv[0],errno); exit(errno); } data.c_lineparam &= ~(PULSE); /* turn off pulse dialing */ data.c_lineparam |= DTMF; /* turn on tone dialing */ if(ioctl(fd,PIOCSETP,&data) < 0) { fprintf(stderr,"%s: ioctl(PIOCSETP) failed, errno=%d\n", argv[0],errno); exit(errno); } close(fd); exit(0); } -- Harold Bamford, AT&T Bell Labs IHP 2F-524 (312) 416-7397 ihnp4!ihlpg!bamford

A comment, tho. I guess I should have made it clear that this guy *did* go to install and redo the hardware setup - everything is, according to that, set up his phone lines for touchtone dialing.
