heyya all ..

	Im gathering ideas on how to implement the following idea ..

any help or suggestions appreciated, even better if its already done
and I can download it from some place ;)

anyways .. heres the story :

I have a rotary of X number of modems ... 80+ .. and I have a modem hooked
up to a linux box. I want to dial each number (although its a rotary, i have
the individual numbers for all of the modems) and check if the modem
on the other end :

1. Answers properly
2. Connects properly

and mayybe .. but of less of an importance 

3. Sustains a connection for > 1min 

Basically this is a maintence script/program that would check each modem in
the rotary group. This would be run mayybe once a week, but since customers
are using the modems at the same time, it has to keep a record of which modems
its checked and which are BUSY .. so it can try them later.

Then keep a record somewhere of any modems playing up .. For example some
modems from time to time need resetting .. or reinitialising .. it just
happens. Going through 80+ modems in one location takes too much time
manually .. (and yes i have done it :/)

So, anything that might do this already .. or might need some gentle hacking
to do this would be great .. otherwise .. a script implementation of chat? 
or any of the linux dialup utils might have to be written.

Any suggestions / comments welcome.
