I need a 'one box' solution for many of my clients. The ideal situation would be a pentium box with an isdn card to connect to the internet, an ethernet card for connecting to the lan (is there such a thing as a router card?), a multiport serial card (so they can dial in), and 28.8/33.4 modems. I'd *like* things to be scsi, but that's another story. Any clues on what multiport card would be best? What isdn card is best? > Add yourself and/or all users the need to access the tty to the > group dialer.. I can add these to /etc/groups.

I started out with just the ttyDxx, then added cuaDxx, at which point I had both, I added mgetty, at which point I commented out all of the others, ttyDxx included. When I decided to try one mgetty and one getty is when I uncommented out the ttyDxx items. > Set the correct device here (ttyD). I'm looking for dialin access, not dialout access. So do I use ttyDxx or cuaDxx? This might be my problem. I thought I used the cuaDxx for dialin. > A better way is to use rc.serial.. > Have you initialized your ttys?? (look at /etc/rc.serial, uncomment the > line under Digiboard.. I saw this a while ago. I believe the only time I tried it was when I was using getty. I just tried it while using mgetty with little difference. I did, however, actually get one of my pc's to get some garbage back after the modem connected. So I guess that is progress. Until then All I ever got was modem connect and nothing else. Lee
