Hello all.  It's the newbie again.  :)

I would like to learn how to get my modem to answer when I call my Linux
computer (either the one at home or the one at work).

I've been doing some Internet research and found some tidbits on minicom,
seyon and mgetty.

What works best with Redhat 8?

Or should I try to setup a RAS-type server (PPP dial-in)?  I have VNCserver
running on both computers and SSH also.

I'll be happy to read how-to's, man-pages and other documentation.  I just
don't know where to start or what software fits best with Redhat 8.0.

Thanks again!
