What should I do to make my machine able to receive dial-ups ? What do I need at
a) The hardware level
Make sure your modem is working properly. Use minicom or something
similar to test. If you're already dialing out from your Linux box, your
modem is working.
b) The OS level
See a) above.
c) The software level
Edit /etc/inittab. At the bottom you'll see a line about putting a getty
on a modem line. Uncomment that line and change the /dev/ttyS3 part to
whatever port your modem is on. You'll probably also want to change the
T3 part at the beginning of the line to match the number of your port
(if modem is on /dev/ttyS0, change T3 to T0).
Now go to a different machine and dial the number that your modem is
connected to. If from Linux, use minicom or something similar; if from
Win9x, use HyperTerminal. You should be greeted with a logon screen,
just as if you were sitting in front of your Debian GNU/Linux box.
Good luck.
