Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Does anybody know if there is a pager program available on FreeBSD? A pager program is supposed to monitor a phone line for RINGs via a spare modem and then after a certain delay, dial a numeric pager to signal a possible message on the answering machine. If there aren't any pager programs available on FBSD, can someone give me instructions on how to read and write to serial ports and where I can get more programming info for the FBSD APIs? I do programming on the PC and Mac, but am new to FBSD so please bear with me if these questions sound too basic.
