You may also want to check out xringd:

  xringd - Extended Ring Daemon - Monitor phone rings and take action.

  xringd will monitor a serial line for RING signals and activate various 
  commands when specific "ring-delay sequences" are detected.

It's available from the Debian archives:

  http://www.debian.org/dists/unstable/main/source/comm/xringd_*
