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
