Re: command line dial out

While stranded on the hard shoulder of the information super highway mike888@xxxxxxxxxx typed:
I am running on centos4.3 and try to dial out, yeah just a simple dial
out from the external modem to my cell phone number. can it be done by
command line only or any script?
thanks.

One way would be to install cu; ok one way might be to install cu.
I used to dial out with it during my Unix days and I'm assuming
the Linux version is the same. Blow dust of brain...

# cu -c /dev/pty2 5554455

the modem is attached to pty2 and the phone no is 5554455.
I recall /etc/uucp was where all the configs lived.
