The big picture is that I intend to add a modem that is configured
   as incoming/outgoing (this is the key to success!).  I'll test
   the modem outward using cu on the Uw7/OSR6 computer to my ISP and inward
   allowing Uw7/OSR6 to answer a call from Hyperterminal on NT4 SP5.

   I'll then make an incoming PPP bundle so that I can dial in from
   NT4 and login as my unix username, mschalit.

   After (1) - (4) above:

     5)  This button takes you into the Serial Configuration Manager.
         Port Type = COM1 Modem
         Configure Port = Incoming & Outgoing
         Speed = 115200
         Then ok to exit.  Then ok to exit again.  Then Host --> Exit.
         Back in the Network Configuration Manager, Go ahead and exit
         it also,

     6)  Testing the Modem:  Working at a terminal prompt.

            *   Set the correct UID:GID on the serial port to uucp:uucp
                if it's not correct:

                  chown uucp:uucp /dev/term/00m

            *   Directly connect to the modem with cu:
                  cu -l /dev/term/00m
                You should enter the connection screen and see a message.
                You may see an AT.  Type AT and press Enter, and you will
                see an OK or 0.  If you don't, type ATE1 and Enter, and
                then AT again.  That E1 turns on echo, which you need to see
                the data, but you don't need for PPP, that's why it's off.
                You can also type ATZ and Enter to reset the modem, then AT.
                Don't worry about about the state you leave it in.

            *   Test that link to see if you get a dial tone:
                  ATDT
                You will hear it after typing that.  Hit ~. to
                disconnect and reconnect with cu -l /dev/term/00m

            *   Test the link outbound... Dial the ISP, login, etc.
                   ATDT 2xxyy92
                After you login, disconnect with ~.

            *   Test the link incoming... I got on my NT4 box and
                ran Hyperterminal and dialed my Uw7/OSR6 modem.  It
                answered and I hit enter to get a Login prompt.
                I logged in as myself and was able to ls -l and
                cal and banner hello a bunch of times.  Good.

            *   Test the link outbound again.
            *   Test the link inbound again.

         All those tests show me that the modem is stable and will
         answer calls and make calls repeatedly.  Good news.

     7)  Now with a working modem, restart the Scoadmin Network
         Configuration Manager again to build the PPP link.  Choose
         View --> WAN and then select Software --> Configure PPP...
         Then choose View --> Bundles screen.  Then Wizard --> Add.
         Then Incoming, Start.

     8)  In the Incoming : Remote Access Window...
           Remote access bundle:  sysop
           Authentication methods...
             Enable Chap                 = No
             Enable Pap                  = No
             Enable login                = Yes
             Enable Caller ID            = No
           Then Next...

     9)  In the Incoming : Login screen.......
            Username:  rasop
            Password:  entered something here
         Next

    10)  In the Incoming : IP Network Protocol window.....
         I left it on local and left my local address in there...

           Local address assigned by:     Local
           Local IP Address/hostname:     10.1.1.1
           Remote address assigned by:    Local
           Remote IP address/hostname:    10.1.1.103
           Use as default route:          No
           Local host acts as gateway:    Yes
           Act as proxy for arp:          Yes
         Then next......

    11)  In the Incoming : Advertise DNS
           Advertise DNS servers:         Yes
           Primary server address:        10.1.1.1    (because I have one)
           Secondary:
         The next....

    12)  In the Incoming : Link Devices window.........

           Flow Control:           Hardware
           Multilink max links:    1
           Selected devices:       COM1  Add >>
         Then finish, then exit, then exit.

    Now we are ready to dial in from another computer.  I have set up
    my NT4 box with a PPP link to Uw7/OSR6  I told NT to bring up a
    terminal window during the modem negotiation so that I can
    type in my login:pass.  That's on the Script tab in the Edit
    Modem Properties.  I told it not to do software compression and
    not to do VJ header compression due to the modem compression
    and the rfc1323 being enabled.

    When I dial, a little window pops up with three fields:
       username
       password
       domain
       Check Box for save password
    It doesn't matter what I enter there, because I will end up logging
    in with the terminal window.  I entered something and it dialed out and
    popped up the terminal window.  I logged in as rasop and gave it
    the password, and it worked.
