Terse version: man pppd man wvdial man minicom man iptables Slightly more verbose version: pppd is the point-to-point protocol daemon, which can be started manually via minicom or the like, or can be set up in dial-on-demand mode, to automatically connect when internet-bound packets are received, and then (optionally) log off again after a specified period of inactivity. wvdial is a well-regarded programme for driving pppd. I've never used it myself, but it's certainly recommended often enough. iptables takes care of two jobs for you: firewalling, and masquerading. I can assure you it does a good job of both. -- Hoping this helps, James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
