Hi,
I've finally made a chat script that allows me to dial-up my ISP from a
modem connected to the server, from a telnet session on a remote machine. The
only problem is that I don't know for sure until I do a netstat -nr if I am
connected.
Is there some way to get the script to periodically check the modem until it
detects a CONNECT signal and then at that point to give a beep on the remote
computers' speaker? After which again it waits for the login procedure to get
over and as soon as ppp is up again another beep.
I have a feeling this is too tall an order, I think the telnet service may not
allow this. Another way to do this would be to find out the name of the machine
to whom the telnet session belongs and to send a Winpopup message. Again how?
Thanks in advance,
Ishaaq
