Hi,

I am not sure what to call this, but I am looking for a little tool that
will let me ringup my network at home from work, over a normal phone,
and then hangup - to tell the network to connect itself to my ISP.

I have a script in perl called ringd, but it fails dismally even though I 
appear to have it set right.  This probably duee to the American method of
making phones ring with a constant bell rather than the modulated one we 
have here in Australia.

Anyone have any hacks that can do this, or have got ringd to work properly?

Rachel
