NAME
ct - call terminal (and start a session)
SYNOPSIS
ct [-c count ] [-w interval ] [-h] phone-number [ service-class ]
DESCRIPTION
Ct places a telephone call to a remote terminal and allows a user to
log in on that terminal in the normal fashion. The terminal must be
equipped with an auto-answer modem.
The phone number and service class are interpreted the same way as by
cu(1). If ct cannot reach the number given, it tries again the number
of times given by count (default 5), waiting each time for a given in‐
terval (default 60 seconds).
If the -h option is given, ct tries to hang up the phone before placing
the call. This is useful for a ``call me right back'' type of arrange‐
ment.
