I have never used remote backup but I have used remote modems try this:
This is from the modem sharing mini howto:
http://www.linuxhq.com/HOWTO/mini/Windows-Modem-Sharing.html
$ cat /usr/sbin/modemd
#!/usr/bin/perl
select((select(STDOUT), $| = 1)[$[]);
select((select(STDIN), $| = 1)[$[]);
exec 'cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyS1';
die '$0: Cant exec cu: $!\n';
Works for modem shareing I can dial the modem on a remote machine using
tools from the document.
