[  I did not try to compile this, as we run BSD exlusively.  It appears
   that the hardest part of doing the port will be emulating the timed-
   out reads (c_cc[VTIME]) in dial.c  --r$  ]

#    Generic Modem Dialer subroutine and support programs for system V.
#
#    Modem configuration is done in the user configured file
#    dialinfo.  Should be able to dial any modem (eg Vadic, Hayes)
#    with a built-in auto dialer.   Replaces ATT dial(3C).
#    Works with CU, uucico, lp, etc.
#
#    This is part 1 of 3.
#
#    The parts are:
#
#    1)    README file and all documentation.
#    2)    Makefile, dialinfo, *.h, some *.c files
#    3)    dial.c

#MOTIVATION
#
#This Dial program is a replacement for the standard System V
#"dial" subroutine documented in the V.2 and later manuals.
#
#It appears--see ACU(7)--the standard dial program requires
#a real or pseudo device driver in the kernel to support dial
#out.   In ATT machines,  this driver is tied to proprietary
#hardware,  and that means--by and large--dial doesn't port well.
#Every vendor seems to have a unique solution to the dial-out
#problem,  and most of them are a mess.
#
#I wrote this in the hope vendors would pick it up and provide
#a standard interface to dial-out lines.   It does nothing strange
#and plugs into all the system V programs (I think).
#
#The System V.2 CU program (for sure) and the System V uucico
#program (I am guessing) use the DIAL subroutine to do their
#dialing.   Altos was gracious enough to let me try out this
#subroutine with their CU source,  so I can tell you it definitely
#works with System V CU.  Unfortunately, I was unable to try it
#with uucico, but I believe it will work there also.   Ah,
#for access to source....
#
#The main claim to fame this dialer has is its configurability,
#portability and flexibility.
#
#I have used it to dial out on Altos and Plexus machines, and
#it went without a hitch.  It has also been used to talk to
#communication equipment (eg telephone systems) and even to
#defeat dialback modems.  It works with the System V spooler
#too.  You can have it call your home and put a message on
#the screen for example.
#
#Anyway, read the "dialinfo" documentation.   If you find a
#modem dialer it won't work with,  drop me a line and we'll
#try to fix it....
#
#INSTALLATION
#
#1)    Get all 3 pieces of the USENET posting and "sh" them.
#
#2)    Print out the documentation and read it.  This step is
#    supposed to get you all fired up for what follows.
#
#3)    Type "make".   This builds everything you need.   If you
#    are wildly optimistic,  you might try "make install".
#
#4)    Copy "dialinfo" to /usr/lib/uucp.
#
#5)    Copy "dialer" and "dialprint" to /usr/lbin or wherever
#    you keep your local binaries.
#
#6)    Either copy "libdial.a" to /usr/lib so it can be used
#    as a library -ldial,  or replace "dial.o" and add
#    dialinfo.o and readinfo.o--in that order--to your System V
#    library (usually /lib/libc.a).
#
#7)    Take a look at "dialinfo".   If you have a hayes or
#    vadic,  you are set to go.  Otherwise you may need to
#    create a dialer entry.   Not to worry,  it is pretty easy
#    to make a simple one.  If you use it much,  you may want
#    to write a fancy one later.
#
#8)    Try "dialprint hayes" to make sure things are basically
#    working.  That should print out a hayes entry.  If you
#    are using a different dialer,  try that too.
#
#10)    Change L-devices to name the type of dialer you selected
#    in the "dialinfo" file.   This entry goes in the third
#    blank-separated field.   A typical entry is:
#
#        ACU tty12 hayes 1200
#
#    If you don't know what fields 1-2 and 4 do,  you will have
#    to spend some time with the uucp documentation.   You may
#    also need to figure out how to hook up a modem.
#
#11)    Hip-hip-hooray!  Now you are ready to actually dial someone.
#    Try the following,  where you replace 5551212 with a harmless
#    number to dial.
#
#        DIALDEBUG=a dialer 5551212
#
#    This should dial out on the first available line, and wait
#    for carrier.   In the mean time, it will print gobs of
#    debug output on your terminal.
#
#12)    If you have source or object copies of UUCICO and CU, you
#    should just be able to compile/link them up and they should
#    use the new dialer.  If not, this is the hard part.  You
#    need to figure out what sort of dialer solution your vendor
#    thought up,  which usually amounts to a special dial program
#    in /usr/lib/uucp or elsewhere.   You must figure out what
#    parameters are used to execute the program (maybe replace
#    the program with an echo script) and then create a script
#    to execute "dialer" with those parameters.  Usually, this
#    script will look something like:
#
#        exec /usr/lbin/dialer -n -t$1 -s$2 $3
#
#    If all went well, you should now be able to use CU and UUCP
#    with telephone numbers, dialing, and all the rest.  Chances
#    are you will have to do some hacking on your system before
#    that happens.  I can't give you too many hints,  because systems
#    are so different in this regard.  Which is why I started this
#    project in the first place.
#
#HINTS
#
#    Some vendors use field 3 in the L-devices file to name a
#    program which actually does the dialing.  If your system
#    is like this,  put the pathname of your dial script in there
#    and also create a dialer with that name.   So maybe you
#    have an entry that looks like:
#
#        ACU tty12 /usr/lib/uucp/dialscript 1200
#
#    and an entry in your dialinfo file that looks like:
#
#        /usr/lib/uucp/dialscript,
#            use=hayes,
#
#    If you are having problems with modem control on your system,
#    it is likely dip switches in the Modem,  a bad cable,  or
#    straps on your computer.   This is kind of a nightmare too.
#    You should be able to see your computer raise DTR (pin 20)
#    on the modem when DIAL opens the communication line,  and
#    sense one line back from the modem to tell when carrier is
#    present.   I have seen CD (pin 8) CTS (pin 5) or DSR (pin 6)
#    all used for this same purpose.  You need to check the doco
#    on your modem,  or better yet, get a breakout box.  Above
#    all, don't believe the LED's on the front of the modem.
#    Usually there are straps between those LEDs and the RS232
#    connector on the back.  Get it working with the breakout
#    box, then build a cable to do the same thing.  If you are
#    lucky, your vendor will have a section in the manual telling
#    about the straps and cable you need.  Some vendors have an
#    application note on the subject.
#
#    As of this writing, both the Altos and Plexus systems where
#    I tested have modem control problems acknowledged by the vendor.
#    These can also complicate your life....
#
#FEEDBACK
#
#    If you find something in the dial subroutine that doesn't fit
#    in with other System V programs, drop me a line, or a bug fix,
#    or something.   I would really like a permanent solution to the
#    System V dial problem.
#
#    I am interested in any comments or suggestions for enhancements.
#

#    distribution,  contact me and I will give you permission.

#.SH DESCRIPTION
#.I Dialer
#is a modem-independent dialer program.
#.I Dialer
#is normally executed by programs such as
#.I cu
#and
#.I uucp
#to perform dialing functions,
#or in an
#.I lp
#interface script to spool output to a remote printer.
#The program is also useful in debugging
#.I dialinfo
#entries.
#.PP
#If
#.I telno
#is present,
#the program uses
#the first available
#.I L-device
#entry which begins with
#.B ACU,
#and otherwise uses the first
#.B DIR
#entry.
#Communications are 8 bits/no parity, carrier sense disabled.
#No retries are performed if all lines are busy,
#or the remote does not answer.
#The following options change all that:
#.TP 10
#.B -c
#After a successful dial, copy standard input to the
#remote
#.TP 10
#.B \-e
#Switch to even parity after connect.
#.TP 10
#.B \-o
#Switch to odd parity after connect.
#.TP 10
#.B \-n
#Do not create the
#.I uucp
#lock file before dialing,
#and do not delete it when the dial is complete.
#This is useful when the caller has already selected
#the dial-out line,
#and secured the corresponding lock file.
#.TP 10
#.B \-w
#If all outgoing lines are busy, wait until one becomes
#available.
#.TP 10
#.B \-r
#If the remote does not answer, redial every 30 seconds
#until he does.
#.TP 10
#.BI \-l line
#Dial out on the tty device /dev/\fIline\fR.

#.SH NAME
#dialinfo - dial procedure data base
#.SH SYNOPSIS
#/usr/lib/uucp/dialinfo
#.SH DESCRIPTION
#The
#.I dialinfo
#file is a database of
#.I dialers.
#Each dialer is
#a procedure for connecting
#a terminal line to some kind of remote computer system.
#Most
#.I dialer
#entries dial out on a
#modem with built-in auto-dial capability.
#Some more esoteric entries resolve
#baud rate switching with a remote
#.I getty,
#perform auto-login,
#and even detect/defeat remote dialback modems.
#.PP
#Each
#.I dialer
#entry describes the operation of a state machine.
#This state machine is capable of sending characters to
#the remote, controlling the switchook, sending break,
#adjusting baud-rate,
#and printing user messages on
#.I stderr.
#State transition decisions are made according
#to responses from the remote, response timeout,
#carrier detection, and retry count.
#The state machine may be
#partially or fully customized
#with user environment variables.
#.PP
#.I Dialinfo
#contains an extensive diagnostic capability both to
#support initial debugging,
#and to deal with day-to-day problems on real
#telephone lines and down systems.
#.PP
#The entry format of
#.I dialinfo
#is modeled after
#.I terminfo.

#.SH "DIALER OPERATION"
#The state machine is initialized to "C0 H- S10 T-",
#and execution begins at state 0.
#.PP
#As each state is entered,
#any previous
#.B []
#command strings are cleared.
#Command execution then proceeds in order from left to right.
#.PP
#If a command
#(eg \fBG\fR)
#is encountered which causes a change of state,
#remaining commands in the current state are not performed,
#and execution continues in the new state.
#.PP
#Otherwise, when all the commands in a state have been
#executed,
#a read operation is performed on the communication line.
#Incoming characters are then matched
#against previously declared
#.B []
#command strings.
#If a match is found,
#the corresponding state transfer occurs.
#If carrier sense was enabled by a previous
#.B C
#command,
#and carrier is lost,
#the last
#.B H
#command is honored.
#If neither of these events occur within the timeout
#specified by the last
#.B S
#command, a timeout is detected.
#Action is then taken according to the last
#.B T
#command.
