service of the Deutsche Telekom. XCept 2 is freeware (BSD-style copyright), but has later been replaced by the commercial XCept 3. The authors no longer distribute or support this old version. I cannot build it on freefall's 2.1.x system, but it builds fine on my 2.2-current. thud seems to be down...

XCept provides a decoder for the CEPT protocol as it is in use for
|
|
example by the Btx service of the Deutsche Telekom. In particular,
|
|
electronic banking and other commercial services are being handled
|
|
this way. The CEPT protocol itself is supposed to be a European Telco
|
|
protocol, though I don't know whether any other Telco is actually
|
|
using it.
|
|
|
|
The program consists of two parts, ceptd acting as a server on the
|
|
host with the modem to use, and xcept as the client which interacts
|
|
with the user, using an X11 frontend if desired. Xcept also provides
|
|
basic scripting facilities.
|
|
|
|
The package has been developed by Arno Augustin and Frank Hoering at
|
|
the University of Nürnberg-Erlangen, Germany. XCept version 2 has
|
|
been the last version distributed under a BSD-style copyright; the
|
|
package went commercial in later versions. The authors no longer
|
|
distribute or support version 2.
|
|
|
|
After installing the package, you must add
|
|
|
|
xcept 20005/tcp #XCEPT
|
|
|
|
to /etc/services, and
|
|
|
|
xcept stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/ceptd ceptd
|
|
|
|
to /etc/inetd.conf on your server host.
