You can set mgetty up so it will allow a serial-port text login from something like minicom or kermit, but also will auto-detect ppp connections so you would have your choice of which type of access you wanted from the same modem. Also, if the locations involved have internet connections that are faster than dialup you might want to set up a vpn or allow ssh logins over it. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
