(sorry, brian) like that. thier are two ways to get ppp to act as a server and brain dealts in detail with both. teh frist one uses getty teh other uses mgetty+sendfax. the firs one is just a few tables modified abd a couple of gotachs in teh modem taken care off (e1 and v1, but read teh man page). using mgetty+sendfax package is far mor complicated but give you a host ove very flrxible options .. if you want to setup a ras type device, tehn mgetty+sendfax would be a good place to start (for a pstn style permanent and dialup modem ras setup, i'm not sure it it will handle teh isdn specific issues). in clossing, i've use teh simple getty mode woth goodeffect, and even tried the mgetty+sendfax package but got bowled over by my dsylexia and several other issues that cause teh weird spelling that you will no doubt second guess at. i would apreciate not being remindered i need a spellinv checker, most of these thngs are wriotten by people who don;t understand how dsylexia works. by the way, one more item teh mailing list freebsd-isp has teh kind of people that use this kind of stuff and so shoudl be able to help you if you need further help in this matter. regards jonathan, not so pretending to be a broccolli today. -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia =========================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
