Re: Inquiry:External USB modem and Remote PC Access?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Thank you very much for your help . Can you please do me favor and confirm if the scenario works when both ends are as CentOS (I mean my CentOS server at the office connected to the telephone line and the remote CentOS client at the far site that we need to have remote access to it) ?
Thank you in advance

I would use a serial modem, assuming your server has a serial port...
and then configure a tty on that serial port, along with the modem
autoanswer.

CentOS has mgetty, so in /etc/inittab, you add a line like...

S3:345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x3 ttyS0    (for com1 which is dev/tty0)

and configure your modem options in   /etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config

now, you can use a dialup terminal program such as minicom, hyperterm,
etc and dial into that modem on the CentOS system, and get a serial
login prompt.


sadly, I haven't set this sort of thing up in so many years, Ive
forgotten all the specifics.  these days, we just use ssh over the internet
