Hi folks. I am using linux since the 1.2.13 kernel and have a little network at home without problem. Now, i am faced with the problem of using a Remote Access Server like cyclades or 3Com provide. For the incoming connections, all seems ok but i need to connect client through the RAS and have control of the internal modem because i need to handle on an application basis the connect / disconnect of the modem. In the old fashion style (ie pool of modem directly connected to serial port of linux box, the use of ppp is well knowed and i have a few pointer to understand what to do). But this kind of server has internal IP routing table and connected to the LAN through an ethernet commutater. I've had heard about "virtual serial port"feature to continue to use ppp which handle only serial port. Am i right? Does any body have some good idea? I 've read about "Portmaster" or Livingston Portmasters series. Is it the right place to search? And also about Portslave RADIUS client software. I've spent a few hours to search in my collection of Linux journal and find these above items. Could anyone give me more information? Thanks in advance.
