Does anyone know of 1) a modem command, and/or 2) a modem, that can tell if
another phone is off hook on the line before attempting to place an
outgoing call?
I'm thinking (don't tell me, I know that's dangerous) about automating my
PPP connection and don't care to have the modem interupt any call already
using the line. I *think* most modems can go off hook and then stop upon
failure to detect a dial tone but I'd like to avoid that "click" on any
call in process.
On another topic, the generic PC box I just put together to host FreeBSD
has an indention in the front for the Mom & Pop PC store to put their logo.
I was thinking a little red face needs to go there but didn't find one the
right size in the Walnut Creek catalog that just arrived. Is there a source
of little red BSD daemon stickers? If not, why not?
Thanks,
