LINUX-RPM -- Dial-in configuration:

To configure a particular port for dial-in, utilities like 'mgetty' need to be installed on the system. If, for example, the port /dev/ttyM2c needs to be configured for a remote-access dial-in connection, an entry of the

form 'M2c:12345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyM2c /dev/ ttyM2c' needs to be added in the /etc/inittab file. After you have made the change, execute 'init q' so that the 'init' process re-reads the inittab file and spawns the mgetty process to wait for an incoming connection. Users can then dial in, use their user names and passwords to log in, and access their accounts on the machine.

To disable dial-in access on a particular port, change the entry in the / etc/inittab file to 'M2c:12345:off:/sbin/mgetty ttyM2c'or just comment-out that entry by prefixing a '#' to the entry on the line.

LINUX-RPM -- PPP setup:

The 'PPP-HOWTO' (a document that is available as a part of the 'HOWTO' documentation on most of the distributions under /usr/doc/ HOWTO) explains in detail the procedure for configuring a Linux machine as a PPP server. This information is also available at

http://www.interweft.com.au/other/ppp-howto/ppp-howto.html.

The documentation in the PPP-HOWTO is directly applicable to ISI ports.

Removing the ISI Driver (Linux-RPM)

1. To remove the ISI driver, type rpm -e isicom

If more than one instance of the isicom file exists in the system, an error message will be returned. To resolve this, type rpm -q isicom. Press ENTER. All isicom RPM modules will be listed. Decide which of these files you want to delete. Then type rpm -efilename to delete those files.
