NAME

       vboxctrl - control vbox functions

SYNOPSIS

       vboxctrl [{-c | -r}] {-a | -n | -p | -j} [-s spool]
       vboxctrl -v

DESCRIPTION

       vboxctrl controls a number of vbox functions. The user's password is asked before performing the requested action.

   OPTIONS
       -c, --create
	      Creates a control file.

       -r, --remove
	      Removes a control file (default).

       -n, --answernow
	      Control file "vboxctrl-answernow".

       -a, --answerall
	      Control file "vboxctrl-answerall".

       -p, --stop
	      Control file "vboxctrl-stop".

       -j, --reject
	      Control file "vboxctrl-reject".

       -s, --spooldir
	      Spooldirectory in which to create/remove control files.

       -v, --version
	      Displays package version.

       -h, --help
	      Displays a usage message.
	      The spool directory is taken from one of the following:

       1      the default builtin value

       2      The value of the environment variable VBOXSPOOL, if set.	3 The directory of the command line option "--spooldir".

NAME

       vboxgetty - isdn voice box (getty)

SYNOPSIS

       vboxgetty [OPTION] [OPTION] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       Vboxgetty is the heart of vbox: it watches the isdn system and waits for incoming voice calls,

OPTIONS

       -f, --file FILE
	      Config file to use. Default is the file '/etc/isdn/vboxgetty.conf'.

       -d, --device TTY
	      ISDNdevice to use. You must use this option!

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.

CONFIGURING VBOX

       vboxgetty should be started from the init process. To do this you need one line per vboxgetty in /etc/inittab like this one:

       I5:2345:respawn:'/usr/sbin'/vboxgetty -d /dev/ttyI5

       The  next  step	is  to set up a working configuration for all ports in /etc/isdn/vboxgetty.conf: read vboxgetty.conf(5) how to do this and
       look at the example config file in /usr/doc/isdnutils/examples.

       You  should  then  create  the	spool	directories   for   each   user:   /var/spool/vbox/<user>,   /var/spool/vbox/<user>/incoming   and
       /var/spool/vbox/<user>/messages.   Copy	 the   example	config	files  vbox.conf  and  standard.tcl  from  /usr/doc/isdnutils/examples	to
       /var/spool/vbox/<user>, read the man pages vbox.conf(5) and vboxtcl(5) and edit these config files.

       Change the owner of all files in /var/spool/vbox/<user> with "chown <user>.<group> /var/spool/vbox/<user> -Rv" and correct the  permissions
       with "chmod o-rwx,g-rwx /var/spool/vbox/<user> -Rv".

       The last step: run "init q" to force init to reread /etc/inittab

HOW IT WORKS

       For  each  line	in  /etc/inittab one vboxgetty is started by init.  Make sure the first field (ID) and the device file are different. Each
       vboxgetty does this:

       First /etc/isdn/vbox.conf is read, the global settings are loaded and then the port specific settings. Then vboxgetty waits for an incoming
       call.

       On  an  incoming call vboxgetty reads /var/spool/vbox/<user>/vbox.conf (unless you change that name), and vboxgetty determines if it should
       take that call or how many RINGs it should wait. It also gets the name of the standard message, beep message,  timeout  message,  if  these
       should be played and an alias for the current caller, if there is one.

       If  vbox  has waited enough RINGs and the caller is still ringing, it takes the call and starts the tcl script /var/spool/vbox/<user>/stan-
       dard.tcl (unless you change that name), and this script will do the rest (normally: play standard and beep message, record  and	then  play
       timeout message).

FILES
