Networking :: ppp server

Now that I am able to dialog with my USRobotic modem through the serial port of my pc board (thanks to microcom), I'd like to be able to reach my pc board through the phone. I haven't found any ppp server extension for DSL. Does this mean I should try to apt-get something or have I missed something in the repository?

If you haven't found one in the repo,

Hope that helps.

pppd is included in the base.

I eventually understood pppd was also the tool on the server side. I actually have to work on what I put behind (ssh server?). I'll probably post on that later after some unsuccessfull trials.
I am facing now a more problematic issue with my ppp server:
The boot process stays stuck when my modem is powered on before the pc. My guess is that the modem is detected during the boot and perhaps the pc is trying to get an IP through it, which is a bad idea for a ppp server.
How could I avoid that?

Try the "nodhcp" cheatcode to skip the ip fetching
