NAME
linesrv - A server to remotely modem/isdn connection
SYNOPSIS
linesrv [options] files...
DESCRIPTION
- This manual page documents briefly the linesrv command.
- This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribu
- tion because the original program does not have a manual page.
- This is LineControl Server. It is designed to run on a Linux mas
- querading server which has for example a dial-up line to your ISP
- to control.
- LC is something similar to masqdialer and other remote
- control programs for network-connections. It is wrote in need of
- a simple tool for home - network. With LineControl you can use
- the old scripts you used to control your connection manually. So
- it's very easy to switch from telnet :) to LineControl.
- LineControl needs a client application on each host using
- the dial-up line. It takes care about the number of clients using
- the line and decides upon this value whether the masquerading
- server should be connected to the internet or not.
- Start linesrv as root if you would like to use the pinger.
- Clients are available for Win 95/98/NT, Linux (console,
- gtk) and there's a Java client too.
- LineControl uses /dev/isdninfo to determine the connec
- tion-status. If you're not interested in the ISDN options or
- want to use LineControl with the normal pppd so set 'con_type
- netdev' instead of 'con_type isdn' or use the 'con_type file' op
- tion.
OPTIONS
-c, Specify the configuration file to be used.
