I think you need to go into /etc/gettytab and
establish a login prompt on a serial port for one
thing. Install apache for another.

Ramana:
Read the PPP HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO.html
(or some other LDP mirror). Chapter 26 has specific information on
setting up a PPP server. Apache is the most common (only?) http
server for Linux. Install that and start reading the manuals in
