Dial-up server would require me to use PPP and TCP/IP. I cannot control the ip address of the machines I am calling, so I run the risk of routing problems if I connect from a Linux machine to more than one remote windows/cygwin machine at a time. I need to also call Windows 95 machines and upgrading is not an option. These will all have the same ip address becuase of a limitation in the Win95 dial up networking. I think I could end up having routing issues using TCP/IP to communicate with the remote machines.
All I need to do is dial into the windows/cygwin machine, start a telnet session and execute a a shell script. It calls sz to send a file via zmodem. What are the limitations of Cygwin as far as serial i/o. Could mgetty work on Cygwin? Apparently agetty will support modems, but it doesnt look like it will answer the call. I think it relies on the modem answering. I would rather have the functionality of mgetty to avoid answers if mgetty is not running. BB > > Is modem dial-in access to Cygwin possible?
