Re: Can I use Samba with dial-up?
I don't know exactly about dial-up with a modem conections, but I have
conected the abomination with my linux box through a serial cable making it
think it was a modem via dial-up, and it does use standard, yes I am saying
standard PPP, I made de conexion with pppd on the linux side, and it worked.
Also without samba I could use all linux services from W95 (ftp,
telnet, ping... well I didn't try anything else).
Using samba I could share printers and files with W95.
I am sending my specific options file for that conection.
I would say it uses PAP, I mean, my Internet Server uses PAP and before
linux I used W95 to conect via dial-up.
There is something else, I had to use "+ua" insted of "user" option with
pppd to make linux conect to my Internet Server, maybe you have the same
problem.
As far as I know, and I am no expert, you should be able to telnet and ftp and
all with no samba.

PS:If you need to do some testing this W95 as a linux Client, tell me; I will do
the testing and send you the logs or whatever.
