I have tried looking around for ways to set linux up as a dial in server (like being an ISP), but it seems that most people don't use linux for ISPs, or at least I can't find anything good about it.
We have a T1 and soon will have a 2Mbit wireless connection as well, we are looking at providing dialup to others in our company so that they don't have to use an ISP. I just can't figure out the dial in part of things.
Also, I'm not sure if I'll have to give out real IP addresses when someone dials in, or if I can give out a fake IP and use masquerading.
Any help would be appreciated.

hi;
Are you serious? Seems like me you're new to
Linux. You'll need modem banks(or maybe an access server) and these HOWTOs: http://www.swcp.com/~jgentry/pers.html, http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue38/gentry.html, http://eipi.net/files/dialin.html. You can setup dhcp server and your own dns server or use your ISPs. The IP addresses you issue to the the dialin clients must be real not fake. I'm not sure how masquarding will work on remote dialup. You can see that Linux almost conquered the server market. I used to dialin my old PC with its USR modem, that I now use as my voicemail instead of paying $10 bucks to the phone company. Hey, wakeup world. The spirit is alive everywhere.good luck
