Linux Remote Access Service

Hi,

i need to replace the RRAS service of windows 2000 with a linux box but i'm having hard time to find documentation about that.

I'm usind linux Red Hat 6.2/7.2 and Mandrake 8.0/8.1/8.2

I've been in linux field only in the past few months so you can call me a beginner even if i already have implemented a few complex situations with this beautiful OS. I'm trying to actually replace Microsoft servers with linux server and i still miss RAS.

Thankx for your support,

I know, it's just hard to find out a way to have callback support.

Callback support depends on what is supported on the client-side. Some time ago I had some scripts that did callback between two linux machines, but I have no idea is this is possible when one end is windoze. I can re-do thes scripts you you want them.

I used to use mgetty for dialin it has nice support for that

thanks pheur, it would be pretty cool if you could do that so at least i can take a look at it and understand the way it works.

i'll check out for mgetty too.

HalldorG, does mgetty work even if a windows machine is calling?

HalldorG

Yes it does, it offers dialin and you can either set it to automatically start a ppp connection or use the scripting option in windows dial up networking to log in and start the pppd that way

But mgetty is the program that controls the serial lines
for incoming outgoing connections
