I think I read somewhere in man that some package can
dial back. I don't remember when and where I read that
though. Anyway, there is a simple work around:
- have mgetty to listen to your modem line. It is capable
of firing up pppd when it sees request for ppp
connection.
- create /etc/ppp/ip-down that would check user name ($2
if I'm not mistaken) that was used to get connected. If
it is a 'your_dial-back' user name - run
dip/wvdial/cu/any_other_dialer
Then to have the system call you back you have to dial
it, use 'you_dial_back' account and hang up.
mgetty man page says it can determine caller ID so you
may use this when making a decision to call or not to
call.
