(You can always post a summary of the off-list replies that you get to 
the list - this was common practice 10 years ago when I was reading 
decstation-managers)

Assuming that you have a WRAP or a Soekris 4501[1] you have to free the 
serial port[2], and then proceed like with any linux machine to use it 
as a dialout server.

Assuming that you have a Soekris 4801 you can use a compatible USB modem 
and then proceed like with any linux machine to use it as a dialout server.

You may need to apt-get install mgetty

[1] Or buy a miniPCI card that has 3 USB 2.0 interfaces from 
<URL:http://www.interfacemasters.com/> .Unfortunately I have the 
traditional case from PCEngines for my WRAP and there is no space to 
plug a USB cable in.  So if anybody knows of a miniPCI riser kit I would 
be grateful.  Or even of miniPCI serial cards (or ADSL cards for that 
matter).
