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
