ppp? need help

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi all,

I need help about setting up a ppp-dialin via mgetty.
I´m a newbie to Linux and came from Windoze, so you have to excuse if
I´m asking silly things.

The situation:

I´m running Linux (Delix distribution) on my machine and want provide a
ppp dialin possibility for Windoze machines, so I, and some friends,
could dialin with Windoze dial-up Network to the Linux machine.
Before I changed to Linux I solved this with a BBS-software, running
under Windoze. But because the instability of Windoze I like more
running my server under a stable platform - so I changed to Linux.

As I know, mgetty has the possibility for auto ppp detection, but I
don´t know how to set up.
What configuration files I need?
How set up the IP´s for dynamic PPP?
Need I also other software then mgetty and pppd?
Are there also other possibilities to handle ppp-dialins?


I hope anybody could help me.

Thanks in advance
