NAME
fone - control ISDN telephone
SYNOPSIS
fone [options...]
DESCRIPTION
Fone manages an AT&T 7506 ISDN telephone set. Program control is sup‐
plementary: normal functioning of the phone is not affected. The set
must be equipped with the ProPhone1.5 ROM or equivalent. To initialize
after the ROM is first installed, push the then the button, and set pa‐
rameters as follows:
DATA MODE: B2
DATA RATE: 19200
PARITY: SPACE
LOCAL MODE: AT
Fone should be run once per terminal session; it accepts commands typed
in its window. If the file exists and is writable, it will contain a
log of calls. A permanent log file may be initialized with:
chmod +a call.log >call.log
Options for fone are:
-f file The telephone is controlled through file instead of /dev/eia0.
-l file Calls are logged in file instead of call.log.
-m The mike is not muted when a call is dialed with the handset
down (see below).
-t cmd The t command (see below) runs cmd instead of /bin/tel.
Commands to fone are read, one per line, from the standard input.
c string
Call telephone number string. Non-alphanumeric characters are
discarded, and the appropriate prefix (9, 91, or none) is
guessed from the length of the result. (If there is no active
call, and string begins with a digit, the initial c may be omit‐
ted.)
C string
The alphanumeric characters in string are dialed exactly as
given.
d Drop the active call, or the last party added to a conference
call.
h Put the active call on hold.
k string
Add a party to a conference call. The active call is placed on
hold, and string is parsed and dialed. Once the second call is
connected, the command with no argument adds the new call to the
previously active call appearance. If the called party is in‐
disposed, the commands and will drop the second call and recon‐
nect the first.
q string
Query the local switch for directory entries matching string (a
surname preceded by up to two initials, like or
r id Reconnect a call on hold and make it the active call. If the
appearance id is omitted, it defaults to that of the lowest num‐
bered call on hold.
s Show the id, state, and calling information for each call.
t string
Run the tel(1) command on string.
x string
Transfer the active call. The active call is placed in limbo
(similar to hold), and string is parsed and dialed. Once the
second call is connected, the command with no argument bridges
the two calls together and drops the intermediary (you). If the
called party is indisposed, the commands and will drop the sec‐
ond call and reconnect the first.
. string
Transmits the converted Touch-Tone string to the called party; a
string that begins with a or a digit doesn't need the preceding
(See command c above if no call is active.)
? Print a summary of commands.
The command may be given before or after lifting the handset; if the
handset is down, the call is placed with the speaker on so you can hear
what's happening. The mike is normally muted, but the -m flag (see
above) overrides this.
