Well Alexey,
Perhaps I'm not that smart because I'm only able to start ppp by means
of pppconfig and pon/poff. Nonetheless I've read almost everything in
the net about this subject. But I'm somewhat confused. What
I need is a step by step explanation on how to make it.
Therefore, the point is that at office there's a Windows NT RAS server
with Callback protocol; my debian 3.0 linux box should call my office,
GIVE the phone number to be called back and answer the call.
What are the orderly steps to set up the connection (your real
configuration, files could help as examples!)?
Thanks
Vittorio
