I remember from my Linux days that a file could be placed in the /etc
directory that would give access to the modem to a certain number of
people.  It might have been specific to the minicom communications
package, however.

At any rate, is there a way to easily list who gets access to dial the
modem aside from root?  For those times I have to have my roommates
bring the ppp link up or down, it would be nice not having to have
them su (and thus go through another round of password changes).

Cheers,
-Wes
