Depends on what you mean by "dial-in". Most people usually mean dial-up
networking services, in which you use your modem as a netork interface.
In that case, the place to go is the PPP HOWTO
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/
The software you'll need will be the pppd daemon (available on a Red Hat
CD if not already installed on your system) and some sort of serial line
control program; I've always used mgetty, I think that it also comes on
the Red Hat CD.
If what you want is terminal dialup -- dial your modem, get a login
session -- that's a lot easier, all you need is the serial line control
program, mgetty by itself should do the trick.
Good luck,
