====== VModem ======
The script that simulates a Hayes compatible modem.

A copy of vmodem can be also found at Github, at https://github.com/molivil/vmodem

===== vmodem.sh =====
The main script. This script will simulate a modem by answering to standard Hayes commands. 
It will open the serial port for communication and execute the dialed number as a linux shell script, however you could probably use any execututable with minor modification.
For example, if you issue the command ATD12345, the script will look for a file 12345.sh in 
the working directory and execute it and output contents to console.

This script can be run standalone, or with the accompanying T1.sh and ppp.sh scripts, which will
enable point-to-point serial to ethernet connections.

# Script version
vmodver=1.7.1

# CONFIGURATION
# -----------------------
# Variable: serport
# serport specifies which local serial device to use.
# For example, "ttyUSB0" will tell the script to use
# to use /dev/ttyUSB0 for communication.
# Common values: ttyUSB0 or ttyAMA0
#
serport=ttyUSB0

# Variable: baud
# baud will tell the script to open the serial port at
# specified symbol rate. When connecting, make sure
# your client computer uses the same baud than what
# has been specified here.
# Common baud rates: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600
#
# Default:
# baud=57600
#
#baud=9600
#baud=38400
baud=57600

# Variable: etherp
# Sets the name of the ethernet device for PPP connections.
# 
# eth0 for wired 
# wlan0 for wireless
#
etherp=eth0

# Variable: echoser
# echoser sets the default behaviour of echoing serial
# data back to the client terminal. The default is 1.
#
echoser=1

# Variable: resultverbose
# Controls default behavior when printing Hayes result
# codes. 
# When 0, prints result codes in numerical form. (eg. 0)
# When 1, prints result codes in english. (eg. CONNECT)
# Default is 1.
resultverbose=1

# Variable: TERM
# Tells the script and environment which type of terminal to emulate.
# It is only useful to change this, if you're using a serial 
# terminal to connect to this script. If you're connecting form a ANSI 
# cabable machine such as DOS, you may want to use TERM="ansi"
#
TERM="vt100"

===== 1.sh =====
1.sh is a virtual phone number used to establish a PPP connection. 1.sh can be dialed by issuing they Hayes dial command "ATDT1" using vmodem.sh. 1.sh is only a redirect script and will actually just run ppp.sh which will initiate the actual PPP connection.

<code bash 1.sh>
#!/bin/bash
#
./ppp.sh
</code>

===== ppp.sh =====
This script will initiate a PPP session and will present a fake login shell, but will not wait around for user input. The fake login shell is in place for compatibility with Trumpet Winsock 3.0, as it by default expects one, so we're fooling it to make it think that it's logging on. It will then proceed when it receives the expected printouts. The built-in dial-up connection in Windows 95/98/Me by default do not expect a login prompt unless specifically told to do so.

When Trumpet Winsock is in PPP mode, by default it will expect the following output after dialing the ISP's number and establishing a connection: 
  * A username prompt, matched by Trumpet with the text "sername:"
  * A password prompt, matched by Trumpet with the text "ssword:"
  * A command prompt, matched by Trumpet with the character ">"

This script has been tested with the default installation of Trumpet Winsock 3.0 revision D with PPP mode switched on. This script has also been tested with the default dial-up utility of Windows 95 and Windows 98 with PPP enabled. 

I've added a parameter to send an LCP echo to the client to test if the connection is still up. If the connection has abruptly been closed, pppd will know this by not receiving an echo reply, and will exit and relinquish control back to the vmodem.sh script. The only reason the timeout is in there, is because it seems like Trumpet Winsock 3.0 doesn't know how to tell pppd to terminate a PPP session from within a PPP session, and it will just hang up the call. As a result, pppd daemon will be left running indefinitely and won't ever give control back to vmodem. This is obviously not preferred, so LCP echo is added to let pppd know when the link has been cut. If you can think of better ways to accomplish this check, feel free to send tips on how to improve the script.

===== 2.sh =====
This example script demonstrates how easy it is to make simple dial-up services, such as BBS's. To call this script, from the serial console, type "ATD2".

<code bash 2.sh>
#!/bin/bash
#

sendtty "Hello World Demo Box!\n"
sendtty "---------------------\n"
sendtty "\n"
sendtty "You have just successfully dialed this virtual box!\n"
sendtty "\n"
sendtty "Please enter your name: \n"
readtty username
sendtty "\n"
sendtty "Hello, $username!\n"
sendtty "\n"
sendtty "Thank you for visiting! Bye!\n"
sleep 2

</code>

===== 3.sh =====
This example script allows VT100 compatible terminal access to the web by way of running lynx as soon as the number "3" is dialed with "ATD3". It demonstrates how to add a Linux based web browser for simple terminals.

<code bash 3.sh>
#!/bin/bash
#
sendtty "Terminal type set to $TERM. Running Lynx ..."
lynx
