This is a first cut of my callback tool. Highly BETA, many rough edges.
You call it from "login.config" like this:
#
# callback experiments
#
cback-gert - - /usr/sbin/callback -S 11223344
to call you back on "11223344" upon entering of a login name of
"cback-gert". If you don't specify a number on the command line,
the program will ask.
If you don't specify a username but "*", things will break: callback
will loop forever, calling you again and again (skipping login.config
upon the second connect doesn't work yet), because it will *always*
call callback...
Use it for your own fun, and on your own risk.
NEW: there is a callback man page ("man 8 callback") now.

I believe the mgetty mailing list will be useful.
