There is Debian package:
Package: xringd
Priority: extra
Section: comm
Installed-Size: 43
Maintainer: David Engel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: i386
Version: 1.20-1
Depends: libc6
Filename: dists/stable/main/binary-i386/comm/xringd_1.20-1.deb
Size: 18074
MD5sum: b44b557bd1238830b8c1ba6b53a7270e
Description: Extended Ring Daemon - Monitor phone rings and take action.
xringd will monitor a serial line for RING signals and activate various
commands when specific "ring-delay sequences" are detected.
I used it a while ago under bo and it worked great! Play with it a
while before you leave it alone. Sometimes I found that the first ring
didn't get caught or was a half ring and xringd didn't catch it
correctly. Set xringd up with a few different patterns to catch
inconsistent rings patterns etc. Basically the possibilities are
unlimited.
