This is a fairly big job with a lot of steps. How far did you get???? We
need more info on what you've done so far, what errors you were getting,
etc....
Step 1: Get the modems working for outgoing. (Use minicom to verify.)
Step 2: Get the modems working for incoming. (Use mgetty.)
Step 3: Enable incoming PPP. (Use mgetty again.)
Step 4: Write chat scripts, configure PPP to call local ISP to verify
that's working.
Step 5: Modify chat scripts to call your other Linux box.
All of this is covered in various documentation and (even better) HOWTO's.
Go to http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX-3.html to find the
HOWTO's and mini-HOWTO's.
Good luck!
