Topic: How to disable call waiting?

[Marco Moreno]

I need to prefix my ISP's phone number with "*70," (e.g. *70,234-5678), however the modem configuration menu doesn't allow a "*".

I hacked /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0 to insert the "*70," but I know that's not the proper way to do it.

Make the dir for the custom template.
# mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0

Copy the old fragment over.
# cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0/30dialup /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0/30dialup

Edit the new fragment
# pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0/30dialup

Expand the template
# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0

You probably have to restart something after that for it to work. I'm not sure what though...

Ok.  I thought that maybe it would be supported directly, but now I'm looking forward to doing some hacking since I'm quite familiar with Perl.

Thanks for the walk-thru!
