That is one of the best supported piece of hardware on Linux. Specialix pays for the development of that driver. All you have to do are: 1. modprobe specialix.o 2. cd /dev. Ckeck if /dev/ttyWx exists (for x = 0 to 7, the 8 ports) 3. If they don't, then do: cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV ttyW 4. Edit /etc/inittab. Add entries for ttyW like: W0:345:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd ttyW0 and so on for all the modems that you have. Note: Add only entries for those ports on the card that has a modem attached. How to count those ports is explained in the specialix documentation (Documentation/specialix.txt). 5. Then, move over to /etc/ppp. There, in the options file, add: init chat -v '"" ATZ\r\n' (I think - you might have to adjust this). 6. Create /etc/ppp/options.ttyW0. In it, add local and remote IP addresses for your dial-up clients. Like: 192.168.2.1:192.168.2.101 (2.1 is your local IP, 2.101 is your remote IP - the one you will serve your client). 7. Create options.ttyWx file for every serial line that you have a modem on. Keep the local IP same, change the remote IP (depending on the serial line). 8. Read up a bit on what else you have to add to the options file. You might have to mention the DNS server names for the clients to use etc. Also, you might need these options: auth, login etc. 9. Tell init that your dial-in server is ready. /sbin/telinit -q. 10. Read up some more if this doesn't work. I haven't done this in a few years now, so might have missed something.
