LINUX-RPM -- Dial-in configuration:
To configure a particular port for dial-in, utilities like 'mgetty' need to be
installed on the system. If, for example, the port /dev/ttyM2c needs to
be configured for a remote-access dial-in connection, an entry of the
form '
M2c:12345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyM2c /dev/
ttyM2c
' needs to be added in the /etc/inittab file. After you have
made the change, execute '
init q
' so that the 'init' process re-reads
the inittab file and spawns the mgetty process to wait for an incoming
connection. Users can then dial in, use their user names and passwords
to log in, and access their accounts on the machine.
To disable dial-in access on a particular port, change the entry in the /
etc/inittab file to '
M2c:12345:off:/sbin/mgetty ttyM2c
'or
just comment-out that entry by prefixing a '#' to the entry on the line.
LINUX-RPM -- PPP setup:

'HOWTO' documentation on most of the distributions under /usr/doc/
