Configuring Tiny Core Linux as a PPP dialup router
« on: May 07, 2011, 12:21:27 AM »
Okay, so I've found a page through the use of google that outlines how to configure FreeBSD to route dialup connections to ethernet (kinda like a ethernet dialin server) (http://pages.ssimicro.com/~jeremyc/ppp.html). Since tinycore isn't freeBSD, I wonder if there is a substitute method of achieving this, maybe through mgetty or something. or is it even possible on tinycore? gimme some ideas.

Besides from not being particular to Linux, this page seems to be 15 years old.
You might get ideas by studying router oriented Linux distros   ;)

You may have to compile a suitable getty. Check on tldp.org, I think the isp howto would be relevant.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
