Just thought I mention that we have some linux based
dial-up servers and I'm quite pleased with them. For
security, our first line of defense is to use the caller
ID features of mgetty (which also integrates nicely with the
ppp daemon as well). Caller ID is pretty hard to spoof
so it alone will filter out a lot of war dialing kiddies
since it won't even answer the phone for any number
not expicitly authorized to call in. Of course, you will
still want to use other means to insure your security.
Just thought I'd mention this as first line of defense.
