Let me explain a little more. From work I'd like to be able to wake up my home network and get it to connect to the Internet so that I can then telnet into it (for example). At work I have a Sun Ultra and a PC on my desk both with permanent fast connections to the Internet, there are no modems or ISDN TAs or anything like that around the place. I do of course have a telephone on my desk. Thus the requirement is that a phone call to a specific number (I have MSN on my ISDN at home, thus there are 8 numbers) should get the Linux machine at home (which is always on) to try and connect which will wake up the Pipeline. This can be done with a modem on the Linux box and a script which is run when an incoming call is detected but I wondered if there was some more direct way of doing it with the Pipeline. -- Chris Green (chris at areti.co.uk) Home: chris at isbd.co.uk Work: cgreen at bcs.org.uk WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/ ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq>
