Re: [hylafax-users] Using a Cisco AS5300

["Abrahamsen, Kenneth" <Kenneth_Abrahamsen@mcgraw-hill.com>]

FWIW, We use old CISCO 2511's (before 5200's existed) and it does reverse
telnet (on either ports 2000-2015 - or is it 4000-4015??) (which is how we
connect to our serially attached printers off the 2511). I'd suspect the
5200's do it too. It's based on the port number you use.

At the moment, the answer is "I don't think so".  If Cisco supplies
something that will do a reverse telnet from behind a pty, yes, but
otherwise, faxsend and faxgetty expect to talk AT protocol to a
character device.

In fact, because of handshaking and stuff, I'm not sure even a PTY
interface would be good enough: the daemon might have to use a special
device driver to emulate a physical serial port.

There are one or two sepcial drivers for CAPI/ISDN, but I haven't heard
about anyone running on a 5300.  If there is someone, I suspect they'll
be here.
