Just perhaps stating the obvious, but don't you have to tell Linux to pick
up receiving calls, as the normal setup is to dial out?

Subject: [newbie] Win95 modem connect to Linux
Hello all:
The Win95 setup:
Dialup networking using 'Slip: Unix connection', log onto network, TCP/IP'
or 'PPP, Windows95, Windows NT 3.5,
Internet',
log onto network, enable software
compression, TCP/IP'
TCP/IP settings: specified IP address, specified name server address, use
IP
header compression, Use default gateway on remote
network.
no scripting.
The Linux box:
/etc/resolv.conf contains 'search <domain-name>'
nameserver <host IP>'
The modem reaches my ISP.
The phone dials from Win95 and I can see it ringing on my other line but the
Linux box never answers.
I must be missing some configuration setting but can't determine where.
Isn't PPP/SLIP/PLIP on the Linux box for outgoing connections?
Thanks for any help
Bill Barnes
