Terminal modem login setup
Need info on how to set up a standard modem as a remote access point. All I need is a simple bash prompt, nothing fancy.
OS - OpenBSD
modem - cua00
More point can be given.
Thanks,

Hello yuzh,
Thank you for your reply. I have read quite a few of the articles (The adventures in Dialup within the BSD section). Within the article he eludes to the redirecting of the bash prompt to the modem port, which is essentially what I wish to do. Of the examples that I have read on this page, all have discussed the use of a box as a jump point/connection point to give intranet/internet access. Hopefully I am not mis-understanding the topics discussed. With my understanding the ppp setups are not what I am looking for. Please correct me if I am treading down the wrong path. Again, I thank you for your reply and hopefully I am not just totally confused in my interpretations. My experience is somewhat limited in OpenBSD but I am trying to change that :-)
