Background: My dad is installing a DSL at his house and I'm setting up a linux server to route packets between their two other machines. Eventually this linux box will be serving web pages and handeling e-mail for a number of domains (hopefully).
Question: He asked me about seeting up a modem inide the linux box so that he can dial up using a laptop or some other computer and not only be able to access his e-mail, but have it then serve to him internet services such as web browsing. Basically a mini ISP that creates a PPP session.
I've done some of this before. I get a single static IP from the dsl line, and use the 192.168.1.* series of non routables for the local lan.
Does anyone know where to find doc's on setting up ISP type services? I figure I will be assigning the dialing machine 192.168.1.* address and telling the server it is just another machine on the lan so please pass packets.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
