[NTLUG:Discuss] Dial up access from a Linux box....?

[lee]

i run dial up ppp service from my home, so it's possible  :)

install a program called mgetty(or maybe it's called mgetty+sendfax), 
read the docs with that

also see
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/ppp-server.html
and
http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/LG/issue36/ali.html (this is for an old 
setup, but still probably very helpful.  i think i used this to 
configure my system when i was just learning...)
