telinit, /etc/ringback (answer phone on second call)

[Jay M. Libove]

There was a program posted sometime in September 1988 (give or take a
month) called "ringback", which was supposed to sit on a modem tty line
and look for incoming RINGs, and if it got one, to enable the line to
answer the phone on the _next_ phone call that came in..


Well, I want to use it for my SCO Xenix 2.2.1 system, but it requires
using "telinit", a not-well-supported feature on SCO Xenix 2.2.1.


Can someone help me with exactly how to use telinit on SCO Xenix (or
even in general. My manual page is essentially useless for it), and
especially if you have gotten the ringback program to work for you.


Thanks in advance!
