modem on serial port?

2003-09-19 Thread Sean Hafeez
i am using a freebsd box as a router. it has a serial port. i would like to hook up a modem and use it to manage the router if the lines go down. now i know you can use the serial port as a console but how about when i stick a modem on it. does anything change. anything i need to install?
