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. > thx > geza -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
