Hello, All.

I'm trying to figure out how to do something with my dialup node...

I share the dialup node with my voice line (which is also for my business
and my home phone).  Right now, I've got people that use dialup locked to
60 minutes at a time, to keep the line free.  However, between the hours of
10 PM and 6 AM, I don't mind if they stay on longer.

The impetus for this is that I have this one particular dialup caller that
calls several times in the AM, waking me and my wife up (the BBS is on
distinctive ring and the phone[s] in the house do ring when the BBS is
called).  So, instead of having him call me several times in the morning,
I'd like to do this:

I have this line to call Maximus/2 right now:

maxp max -s%1 -b%2 -p%3 -n1 -t60 -e1 -lnode1.log

The -t is for the time length for each call (forced).  What I'd like to do
is to write a REXX script that would determine if it's between 6 AM and 10
PM, to allow 60 minutes only and if it's between 10 PM and 6 AM, to allow
them the full use of their access level's time limit.

Could anyone help me with this?  I'm sure it's not too hard, but I'm not
quite sure how to go about this.  I've got my REXX books at hand and am
looking into this already, but I would like some "professional"
help. 

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Later,
Sean
