Modempool is a program that handles a pool of modems. When a user calls a
modempool controlled modem he/she is requested a name, password and,
sometimes, a phone number. If everything is ok, modempool will dialup the
user and start a login prompt. Modempool has the following features:
- Your site only have to have one external phone line and still have many
modems on local lines.
- Users do only have to known one number, this makes it easier for both
the system administrator and the user who does't have to try many numbers
to find a free line.
- A user can have a list of valid phone numbers or asterisk for
any number.
- If compiled with the RLOGIN-switch callback will login a user
on a specified machine.
- Extensive logging of users loging in and of problems with the
modem and lines.
To compile modempool you should first decide whether to use -DRLOGIN switch.
If you will not use it, edit the Makefile to turn it off.
Then do:
make
If everyting worked do as root:
make install
Also remember to read the manuals.
You should now start the modempool process in /etc/inittab (SYSV) or
/etc/ttytab (BSD), and add users to the /etc/local/modempool/Users-file.
Please mail bugreports or questions to me.
