The trick is to have the chat script try multiple phone numbers till
it gets one that works. Something like this...
------------------------------ dial.sh -------------------------
CHAT=/usr/bin/chat
USERNAME=guest
PASSWORD=guest
PRIMARY_PHONE=555-1212 # Information in the us, don't use!
BACKUP_PHONE=555-2323
function chat_connect () {
/usr/sbin/chat -v \
TIMEOUT 3 \
ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' \
'' \rAT \
'OK-+++\c-OK' ATL0H0 \
TIMEOUT 30 \
OK ATDT$PHONE \
CONNECT '' \
name:--name: $USERNAME \
assword: $PASSWORD \
PPP ''
return $?
}
#
# Try the first number
#
PHONE=$PRIMARY_PHONE
echo `date` Dial Primary >> /tmp/dial.log
chat_connect
rc=$?
if [ $rc -eq 0 ] ; then
#
# we connected.
#
echo `date` Connected to primary >> /tmp/dial.log
exit 0
else
echo `date` Primary Failed Code $rc >> /tmp/dial.log
fi
#
# Try the backup number
#
PHONE=$BACKUP_PHONE
echo `date` Dial Backup >> /tmp/dial.log
chat_connect
rc=$?
if [ $rc -eq 0 ] ; then
#
# we connected.
#
echo `date` Connected to backup >> /tmp/dial.log
exit 0
else
echo `date` Primary Failed Code $rc >> /tmp/dial.log
fi
return $rc
