There's a sample entry in /etc/ttys, with a leading '#' all set up already for a dialin line. (ttyd1, not cuaa1) > What is the name of the program that will allow me to dial out ? Providing you don't have a getty on the port (ie. the line in /etc/ttys has been commented out and init restarted), you can just say cu -s 38400 -l /dev/cuaa1 > Do I really need CSU/DSU, terminal server, and router to be an ISP, or can I > just use a modembank instead of the terminal server? You can indeed use a pile of modems and a multiport card or so to run a dialin server. > Thank you I really think you ought to spend a little money on a book on rudimentary system administration before getting too carried away. > maher -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
