So, what I would like to do is find out if there is a way in which I can
call my Linux machine from a regular telephone and have it connect to the
Internet via my ISP. No, I don't want to set it up as a PPP Server and
remotely connect to it. Instead, I want to be able to use any telephone
(no modem here) to call my machine. My Linux machine sees ring indicate
on the modem and says to itself (aha, Rod's calling me, I better connect
to the Internet so he can telnet to me from where ever he is). Since my
Linux machine gets a static IP address from my ISP, all I would need to do
is to call my computer, let it ring once (or twice), hang up, connect to
the Internet, and then telnet to my Linux machine.
So, my question is, has any work to accomplish anything like this already
been done? I would rather use something existing than to "reinvent the
wheel" so to speak.
TIA
-Rod
