I've just completed writing a bunch of scripts that allow me
bi-directional comms - very clumsy I admit, but since I'm not up to climbing
into the serial code and drift away from the source tree it works for me :-)

The script (modified ip-up) basically copies a new ttys file,
/etc/ppp/options, etc, notifies init and then dial's out with PPP to connect 
to my provider.

The cleanup script (modified ip-down) reverses the procedure and preps the
box for dail-in's - which I use to access my box from work.

Have been using it work a week now, and I *think* I've got the last bug out,
bug out, bug out 8-)

Now, if anyone can suggest how I can get the script to cycle telephone
numbers I'd appreciate it :-)
