There are rumors that there are some people out there in net-land who
|
|
only own one PC and don't have the money to spend on a T1-Internet link.
|
|
To get their daily dose of news and mail nevertheless, they are said to
|
|
rely on SLIP links, UUCP networks, and bulletin board systems (BBS's)
|
|
that utilize public telephone networks.
|
|
<P>
|
|
This chapter is intended to help all those people who rely on modems to
|
|
maintain their link. However, there are many details that this chapter
|
|
cannot go into, for instance how to configure your modem for dial-in. All
|
|
these topics will be covered in the upcoming Serial HOWTO by Greg
|
|
Hankins,<A HREF="footnode.html#2395"><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="gif" SRC="foot_motif.gif"></A> to be posted to comp.os.linux.announce on a regular basis.
