Its one of the very few intelligible man docs, I understand it was largely written by the developer of user-ppp (Brian Somers)...... I don't use mgetty though because I've never had much joy with the auto-ppp feature Apparently there was some sort of communication issue between someone @ FreeBSD & someone @ mgetty that resulted in a partly broken auto-ppp. The word is out that its been fixed recently however. The standard (ie default) getty works fine with unix dialin clients & also with Windows ones as long as you login manually (I've got an auto login script for Win95 / 98 / ME, but it doesn't seem to work with NT / 2000) If you need something basic, see the quite explicit tutorial I did a while back on on configuring a FreeBSD gateway, there is info on the dialin ppp stuff towards the end ("Pedantic FreeBSD" at http://troll.apana.org.au/~freebsd/ ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Gould" To: "FreeBSD Mailing List" Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 3:23 AM Subject: dialin web server? > What is the best way to get FreeBSD to allow someone > to dial in and access the web server? > > I installed mgetty and can dial in from a Windows > machine via terminal emulation software for shell > access; but cannot successfully dial in using dialup > networking. > > Thanks, > > Andrew Gould > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
