Facility.

this is highly depending on how your call back server is configured.=20
So some more informations would help in helping you.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
I have access to a call back server here. It is setup to dial back to
me, but it will act as server, i.e. it will insist on choosing the IP and
everything. It also will not authenticate itself properly (or I couldn't
figure out how), but I have to authenticate myself to the call back machine
as if I would login there.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
basically you need some program which is listening to your modem and acts o=
n
connections. I use mgetty which even has a auto ppp detection mode.

</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
A properly configured mgetty listening on the modem will not disturb outgoi=
ng
connections. Only when the modem is free again it will start listening for
incoming calls.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Then you will have to setup pppd so incoming calls as "autoppp" will
authenticate themselfs correctly to the call back server. Thats basic pppd
setup with pap secrets here, but can be different for you.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
If you have more specific questions I can try to help you along.
