Help Building Dial-in Server
I need some ones help in doing this?
I'm a newbie….so pls excuse my ignorance.
I'm planning of putting up a dial-in server at our main office. Our purpose for this is to make available downloading of data and uploading files to main office. Branches will connect from windows machine to our main office fc3 test3 with Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) modssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.6b PHP/5.0.3 modperl/1.99_19 Perl/v5.8.0 and DFM-560E External Fax Voice Modem.
I had spent a lot of time looking online manuals, googling and finally configured dialin server in this manner.
opened /etc/mgetty/login.config and changed to /AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.server.
Added this in inittab S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1 /dev/ttyS1
Configured etc/ppp/options.server
asyncmap 0
modem
crtscts
lock
require-pap
refuse-chap
proxyarp
192.168.1.40:192.168.1.41
Added username & password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
ppp * ppp *
Then I tried from windows it was able to get connected to server(main office) But unlucky to open web-site.
I have tested the website internally on the machine with 192.168.1.40 and it is successful. Added 192.168.1.40
I need to know what more must be configured and have to be done so once I am connected to server I am able to open the site 192.168.1.40
I'm at wits end and sure appreciate some helps from gurus out there.
Thanks

For a start from the windows machine open hyperterm or anything else that can talk to the modem and do 'ATDT
Does it connect?
If so does it prompt you for a username or look like 20 or so high-ascii chars?
