You can do better. Make the mgetty+sendfax port and run vgetty
instead of mgetty. Set up your voice stuff (you'll need to copy the
vgetty example config manually) and then create a dtmf.sh script.
You can then dial your home machine on a handset, type in the correct
DTMF sequence and have your machine connect to the 'net - you don't
need to have direct dial access from your laptop :-)
Ppp happily does this if you just give it a reasonable redial period
& frequency.
