Here is the quick and dirty script (please, no flames about using csh, I am
just a professor) I use to have the VAX (4.2 BSD) call me at home. It works
with a DEC DF03 modem only (/dev/ttyi1), and observes the tip/uucp locking
protocol. I have my own cron and crontab, and schedule calls from there. The
Burlington area phone company has gone to measured service for everybody.
#! /bin/csh -f
# call a terminal, run setuid to root, executable from group tippers
set path=(/bin /usr/bin /usr/ucb /etc)
setenv PATH /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc

echo " Calling $1 at `date` ($$)" >>/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE
set status=0
csh -f <<-EOF-
set noclobber
cat /dev/null >/usr/spool/uucp/LCK..ttyi1
-EOF-
if ($status == 0) then
ed /etc/ttys </dev/ttyi1
sleep 180
set HERE=`w | grep -c ttyi1`
if ($HERE) then
echo " Call to $1 succeeded ($$)" >>/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE

echo " Call to $1 failed ($$)" >>/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE

sleep 180

end
sleep 1

echo " But the dialer is LOCKED ($$)" >>/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE
