MODEMS: Wake-up calls

[Don Ingli]

I did a little experiment that I thought some of you sysadms might find
useful...

A friend of mine told me there was a 900- telephone line that you can call
and for a buck, they will give you a wake up call in the morn.  (he forgot
the number.. so please don't ask for it)  Anyway, I wanted a wake up call
to my LOUD phone so that I would get up at 6am this morning.  So last night
I tried this cmd:

at 06:00 Tue  <return>        06:00 military time or you could say  6am
cu xxxxxxx   <cntrl-d>        xxx are my home phone number...

at 6 sharp my wake-up call woke me up... (more than I can say about my clock).

I think I will be using this more often.. :)

just a thought...
