With RH 4.2 all the way up to RH 6.0 I have been using ppp as a dial IN type
server. This was in my ISP days till I sold out. But it can be used for dial
in just need to configure /etc/inittab, /etc/ppp/options,
/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.conf.
I think I hit all the files. Has been about 5 months since I set one up.
