here is the way I do it, (using a Cyclades multi-port serial card), and a
rotary dial in set of telephone lines.</P

>If you don't like the method I present here, please feel free to go your
own way. I would however, be pleased to include additional methods in
future versions of the HOWTO. So, please send me your comments and
methods!</P

>Please note, this section only concerns setting up Linux as a PPP
server. I do not (ever) intend to include information on setting up
special terminal servers and such.</P
><P
>Also, I have yet to experiment with shadow passwords (but will be doing
so sometime). Information currently presented does NOT therefore include any
bells and whistles that are required by the shadow suite.</P

versions versus pppd versions apply. This section assumes that you have

You may also wish to include other capabilities (such as IP fire walls,
accounting etc etc).</P

>If you are using a multi-port serial card, then you must obviously
include the necessary drivers in your kernel too!</P
