Am I right or am I > right? Yes, you're right. I have just set up a machine to do this very thing, thought it has a serial modem for both the uplink and downlink, though that ought to make no difference to the concept you are describing. There are several How-Tos floating around the web (search on Google) describing how to set up dialin. The approach I used successfully was to get a standard getty to watch serial port 0, call a script on answer that then runs /usr/sbin/ppp -direct. You'll find How-Tos out there describing this in detail. If you can't get it working, email me. -- Paul. mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net mailto:paul.hoadley@student.adelaide.edu.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
