Sorry Bill I forgot to mention that I'm using the linux box as a GPRS 
router. When any PC connected to my Linux router box accesses any thing 
remotely, the router will automatically fire up the GPRS modem. This bit 
works well :-)

However I'd like the ability to dial up the router from work and poll a 
few devices connected to it. Since I only have one serial port and one 
modem, it would be nice to configure the Linux box to support 
dial-on-demand and as a dial up server.

Regards,

Lee
