I am also configuring a dial-in web server, although it won't

have some similar problems like the ones below...keep reading...

I don't know how to do this either, would appreciate help on it.

I'm using PAP, but for some reason, the dial-up networking is
having extreme problems with getting it to work. Any
suggestions, help, etc?

For your getty lines in /etc/inittab, make sure the respawn
option is there, then the server should give the login: prompt
again.
EX: (I use mgetty)
s0:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 /dev/ttyS1

I believe that
1. Your linux box must be set up to do fowarding
2. You have to specify the 'proxyarp' setting in
/etc/ppp/options
Thanks for help! :)
