Hi all,
I want to use my analog modem (a combined Ethernet/modem PCMCIA card
from 3COM) to dial up to my ISP using a normal analog phone line, when
I'm on the road. Is there a document that describes somewhere how I
set that up? The installation guide only mentions ADSL.

As long as your modem
As long as your modem detects okay, it's very easy. Just
emerge ppp, edit
/etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 and then either run
/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start or
rc-update add net.ppp0 default to your liking.
I had a quick look at /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0, and it seems quite easy,
as you say. I'll try it out
