Topic: Set up PPP Server

[Theo]

I would like to set SME 5.5 as a PPP server and was wondering if anyone knows how to or has written a HowTo on this. Basicly I have sme as server only behind a hardware gateway/nat that is connected to an ADSL.
gateway=192.168.0.1
SME=192.168.0.7

I have read several posts saying they have done it and have this or that issue, but no one out lining how to (for the dedicated nOOb).

I want to be able to dial in to my SME and get out to the internet. Become a mini ISP for myself so to speak. Otherwise I will have to pay for another ISP connection and would rather not. DSL is spendy enough. My other option is just to set up another box to do this, though if I can do it on SME that would be preferable.

here is the howto

and here is the required file

I followed the instructions at

http://www.dungog.net/sme/howto/dialinserver.php

for installing dialin on SME however I don't think it is installed properly.
The modem is recognizing the ring but getty is not picking it up.
The mgetty.config file is empty, the inittab file is starting something
called mingetty instead.
I tried commands mgetty -x 7 ttyS0 and mgetty -x 7 ttyS1 to monitor
the line without result.

Any ideas?
If I can get this working I would be glad to create a very detailed page to
explain now I did it.
