Re: dial-in server

hi ya

there's probably howto on ppp servers..

- get a good external modem
	- 3com makes too many versions ...donno which is good or bad
	- zoom, best, few others  works good ( first time )

	( if you get a bad modem... you;d be spinning your tail
 
	- test it with a regular phone too ... that the "ppp" computer
	( uugetty/mgetty ) answers the incoming phone call

	- than play with ppp part of the files

- if you plan to use the "onboard modem" ...
	see winmodems  ( major pain in the butt )

- for more commands you'd need to learn ( if your modem misbehaves ) 
  and files to edit

- havent played w/ modems in ages.. ( a good thing )
