a minor p.s. to my notes, I forgot this line for the mgetty login.conf:
/AutoPPP/ - -/etc/ppp/ppp-pap-dialup
which is crucial to making this work. Also, you may have to edit
/etc/passwd manually to get it to accept a shell not listed in
/etc/shells.
Otherwise, I reinstalled 5.3

You're saying that USB modems are not good? Are they winmodems too?

Do you have a serial port on your computer?
There's a 9 pin connector (nothing attached) that I'm not sure what
it's for, a printer port, and mouse and keyboard connectors, otherwise
they are all USB ports. (Hardware is NOT my specialty. This is a new
Dell Dimension 3000, if that helps any.)

I have been attempting to setup mgetty (installed from ports) to allow
