Can I configure 2 modems on the box, one DIAL-IN and the other DIALOUT? and have them work at the same time ?

Yes. Mgetty works with the dial in, wvdial (etc) works with the dial out modem. They can both do their duty at the same time, Linux is robust and doen't stumble all over itself like 'another OS' I'll not mention. ;-) -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Thanks for the info

Can you give me some howtos.. or links.. on how this could be done.

Hi, Mgetty is on your SuSE Distribution and includes some documentation. The homepage is at: http://alpha.greenie.net/mgetty/ Have a look at the bottom on the page and there are some links to setting up a dialin server. If you do a google search you should find quite a few docs on how to setup a dialin server. http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=mgetty+dialin+server&btnG=Google+Search The mgetty mailing list can be search at http://search.alphanet.ch/ -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

I have some notes on how I set this up, based on various other notes that other people had done. if you like, i could try and tidy them up and send them to you off-list.
