dialing in with an Analog dial-up modem
Going back to the old school days ...
I need to setup a linux box with an analog dial-up modem so that:
This linux box will have only 1 dial-up modem connected to 1 analog phone line. I just need to be a tiny ISP to my 2 or 3 remote users. Is there some application or utility (or distro) that will help me set this up and run it? |
See tldp.org and search for information on "ppp dial-up howto" (or was that dial-in?) Anyway, there's information on tldp.org. Exactly how to install certain programs (like mgetty) depends on your particular distribution; just keep that in mind when you read somewhat generic or even distro-specific 'how to' files.
Since you have only 1 modem, only one person can connect at a time; in the bad old days ISPs had "modem banks" - hundreds or even thousands of modems. |
