DESCR file: The mserver program is a network modem sharing server which allows modems to be exported to any number of hosts on the (local) internet. Access control to each individually exported modem is performed on a per-host basis. If you are going to hace Win clients you will need a client (there is a Linux Howto Modem Sharing there it is explained). I am using this feature with FreeBSD 3.4 stable and it works.
