Welcome to ds3

dialup service 3 for short ds3 is a modem sharing server for Linux/UNIX. It allows no direct access to the modem/isdn-adaptor instead it provides a text based interface which could be accessed via telnet or by a client. Right now we have a java based client and a gtk-based one.

Features

Sharing

  • Up to 251 users may use a line a the same time. The numer is limited by the number of sockets for each process.
  • A user may block the line so nobody can dialout. This is useful if there is just one line and somebody wants to use the phone.
  • The sysadmin may hangup the line at any time with the term command.

Signals

  • Signals are used to start special jobs like fetch mail, news, the latest slashdot menu or sendmail.
  • There three diffrent types of signals.
    • signals which work only if the line is not in use
    • signals which work only if we are online
    • and signals which work all the time.
  • Any user connected to the server may initiate signals.
  • Signals could be emitted by the server if a interval was specified.

Other

  • login with password. The server is using the crypt stuff.
