 Hi Folks,

 here a little tricky problem.

 Startcondition:
   The system is a iPentiumII 400MHz, 128MB Ram - System under SuSE
   Linux 6.1 with Linux-Kernel 2.2.7 and mgetty V1.1.20
   The ISDN-Connection is established by two ELSA ISDN/Tlv.34 TAs

 Task:
   Provide different and condition-controlled services on diferrent
   MSNs so that the same service can be accessed by two different
   callers at the same time.

   More exactly: The systems job is to provide

   1. MSN: an answering-machine during off business hours
           (condition-controlled)

           BTW has someone a good suggestion, which software to use to
           create the info-texts? I liked to use SLab, but the license
           has expired ans the author is not reachable.

   2. MSN: an faxpoll and voice infomation service controlled by
           touchtones

   3. MSN: PPP-login and fax-receive

   I think the really tricky thing is, that each TA has to controll all
   three MSNs and provide all three services.

 Has someone some good ideas?

 I experimented some with the idea to create a "switchboard", a litte
 program that just waits for the "ring" to determin witch MSN is called
 an then route the datastram to another "device" with is controlled by
 mgetty/vgetty. But this leads to writing a devicedriver with reacts
 like a serial port, and that is not my wish :-) (I am seeking a more
 general solution so other non-Linux people have the chance to
 participate).

 thanx

 Hendrik
