I have successfully installed NetBSD and now would like to
offer dial-in capabilites.  I would like to have another user 
call my machine (the user would be using a PC running some Comm
package), and use it.
     I was thinking, could it be possible just to hook up the
modem to the machine with a null modem cable, and use it that way?
Or... is there something else I need to do/use in order to get it
to go.
     Thanks.....
