I released xring-0.5 BETA and would appreciate some beta testing.
It is an extended ring daemon based on some recent kernel additions
I made in the kernel serial driver (1.3.48+). SO YOU NEED
A LINUX KERNEL 1.3.48+ !
Find it on sunsite's Incoming. it should normally go to:
/pub/Linux/system/Network/serial
Another place to find it is:
dolphin.doc.ic.ac.uk /pub/linux/xringd/
Please read the documentation provided carefully.
I hope you find it useful.

>From the README file:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you like to have your computer connect to your office, make it
turn the air-conditioner on/off or activate _any_ command you like
_without_ your computer going off-hook ?
xringd, the Extended Ring Daemon can do it for you.
It will monitor the serial line for RING signals and activate commands
if specific rule "sequences" are satisfied.
You "talk" to your modem via a simple "alphabet" which contains
rings and delays (between the rings). You form "words" in this alphabet
by calling your modem and waiting for specific intervals.
xringd will NOT affect any programs using the serial line. It can even
coexist with your getty. It uses a kernel ioctl found on Linux 1.3.48+
(implemented by the same author).
Read the manual page provided!
Please try this program and send me any comments or bug reports/patches
via email.

Title: xringd
Version: 0.5

Description: The Linux Extended Ring Daemon.
It matches "sequences" of a ring/timedelay "alphabet" with

Thus, commands can be run while your modem stays on-hook.
Does not affect getty's or other progs using the same port.
