Hiya all,

is it good practice to set up a ppp dial back account as follows:
	o	first make a regular account, that triggers a script
	o	this script takes control of a modem, and calls back to a certain number
	o	the user then has to configure its machine to handle the incoming connection?

Can anyone point me to a source for info on this subject, or has anyone
done it his/herself? I'm using user ppp, with mgetty on a FreeBSD-box (but I 
think the os is irrelevant here). 
Tricky things are (I think) how to control the modem, and how to _give_ a login
prompt to the dial-out line..

Thanks in advance,

Gul
