Re: MOH Status

Hi Matt,

from the specs on the internet I understand that MOH allows you to suspend the 
internet/PPP-connection and receive a phone call. However I don't understand 
how this works at the technical level. How is the phone call signalled to the 
modem? Is that signalling part of the PPP data stream? And how do 
applications that have an active (TCP) connection react? Will all connections 
be dropped?

I'm still working on a new firmware, but implementing MOH will probably be 
*difficult* for me. I never heard of a german ISP supporting that. Nearly 
ever internet user here has either POTS/ISDN+DSL or at least dual-channel 
ISDN here.

BTW, Actiontec is still violating the GPL, especially by not giving out the 
cnxtserial_buildin.o source code. This module is nearly the same as 
cnxtserial.c (which is part of the GPL release). And as cnxtserial.c is 
heavily based on serial.c, it MUST be released under GPL. So if anybody wants 
to contact Actiontec...
I'm trying my best with a disassembler, but this work ist painful...

Cheers, Johann
