IIRC the developer tools (which includes XCode) are on your 10.5 disk. If not, 
you need to download it from Apple; at developer.apple.com.

There's a package that claims to worl with NeXT and BSD, so might be adaptable 
to OS X here  Good freakin' luck, you're 
going to need it! :-)

Might be easier to hunt down an actual terminal server to do this, like this:

 or an old Shiva LanRover; 
here's one for $25 
:

We used one of these for years as our dial-in box for the college.

pppd/mgetty question for dial-in access question.......

2012-02-02 Thread Jesse St.John 
alright people here is a question, om a slacker so i get the "rtfm"  
and im used to saying it as well, however, this isnt a slack list it  
is a macosx list, so


how can i, for instance, set up a dial-in  with my leopard 10.5 ppc  
machine with a dial-up modem to receive calls and allow for a remote  
connection, from another computer without the use of a isp, or  
anything? its more to be of use to myself, so if i ever need access to  
something, even miniscule, its there... all i have to do is dial out  
to my home phone and connect. i have read a few ways, which if you  
dont have xcode(and i dont i dunno what happened there) are not  
happening. but they involve mgetty, and setting it up to anser the  
line like an answering machine only to let you dial in. is it possible  
or is it just not gonna happen? please some insight would be  
awesome...



id like to use it for proof of concept as well
