Chapter 4 Setting up dial-in modem ports
Introduction
This chapter will review the configuration necessary to create dial-in connections. It will start
with the most simple connection such as a dial-in Unix connection. The chapter then moves
into setting up PPP ports which is how Windows ® systems dial-in (as well as Unix). This is
very important if you are an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a corporate site providing
remote access or Internet/Intranet access.
IOLAN+ can make a very good dial-in solution for ISPs and corporate users alike by using its
remote access facilities.
This chapter goes hand-in-hand with Chapter 5 Modem authentication and logging.
Note
In many of the modem examples, we are using PPP. You can use SLIP
and CSLIP in those applications requiring these legacy modes.
