Modems that support voice operations can probably do this. I know that an old "Hayes Accura 33.6 Voice Modem" can. Basically, you put the modem into voice mode and then it will report local hook state events as well as other things like tone detection. It really depends on your modem, however. -Ted To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
