(a word of warning, my key i broken, ie , pqrtuvw )

*igh*

Well, I'd been aking around if it wa poible to have a decent
modem dialin esrvice running under linux, and I can now report
that ye it i poible.

I configured an AT fourport and a digiboard (both 4 port) erial
card , tuck 5 dial in modem, one outdial, and it worked a beuat.

The outdial, connected the the net for a hort trial, eaily handled
the 5 2400 login, a it wa at 19.2k. When I stuck another 19.2k
on though, that one lurped all the traffic under term and the
2400's became a bit icky.

o 8 erial port later, (and a bit of makenod crap) it works.

Can we perhap tart a "thi work under linux" thing? It wa
cary wondering if it wa worth buying a 386dx to run linux
not knowing fully if the erial port tuff would work..

Ltr.
