linesrv - A server to remotely modem/isdn connection

linesrv [options] files...

This manual page documents briefly the linesrv command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. This is LineControl Server. It is designed to run on a Linux masquerading server which has for example a dial-up line to your ISP to control.

LC is something similar to masqdialer and other remote control programs for network-connections. It is wrote in need of a simple tool for home - network. With LineControl you can use the old scripts you used to control your connection manually. So it's very easy to switch from telnet :) to LineControl.

LineControl needs a client application on each host using the dial-up line. It takes care about the number of clients using the line and decides upon this value whether the masquerading server should be connected to the internet or not.

Start linesrv as root if you would like to use the pinger.

Clients are available for Win 95/98/NT, Linux (console, gtk) and there's a Java client too.

LineControl uses /dev/isdninfo to determine the connection-status. If you're not interested in the ISDN options or want to use LineControl with the normal pppd so set 'con_type netdev' instead of 'con_type isdn' or use the 'con_type file' option.
