Hi all. I have been seriously considering the idea of setting up a dial-up server for myself, in the event that I want to access my machine, but have no access to a network, only to a phone line. My problem is though that I have an answering machine, and only 1 phone line. Is there some way to setup init/agetty so that the modem would answer the phone on every other call? A scenario of what I mean by that is as follows. 1. I call in, and remotely disable my answering machine. 2. I call in with a modem this time, and say my server is set to pick up on the 6th ring, which it does. I then login, do whatever I got to do, and end the connection. 3. I call in again, but the modem knows this is another call, and doesn't pick up. This would give my machine a chance to pick up after 10 rings, so that I can reenable it. Then, in the future, if I disabled the machine, and let the phone ring 6 times, the modem would pick up. Then, if I called in once more, it wouldn't pick up, and so on. Could someone please tell me if what I'm suggesting is possible, and how I can accomplish it? Thanks in advance. Greg
