>Description:
I have been tring to figure out how to use the CBCP (Microsoft Call Back
Configuration Protocol). After greping around in the pppd source for
awhile, I discovered an undocumented option 'callback' (not even mentioned in
src/usr.sbin/pppd/doc/README.cbcp).
I think there should be some reference to this in the man page. The
usage is:
callback <Phone Number>
Where the parameter <Phone Number> is an unquoted phone number, usually
the clients.
>How-To-Repeat:
Put callback <Phone Number> in your /etc/ppp/options file and connect to
a MS-RAS server. Given, if call back support is turned off in the
server or for a given user, you will not be able to test this feature.
>Fix:
Approximate Verbage:
callback phone_number
Request a call-back to the phone number, entered in the parameter,
from a Microsoft RAS server. If you connect to a number of different dialup
servers, that do not support call-back, then this option should not be put in
you main options file.
