RE: New dial in setup!
A while back I setup an old Cisco 2811 to provide a PPP / POTS internal dialup point for my vintage computers to get online with. It works well, I can connect my windows 95 486 to the internet through it just like a real ISP back in the day.
I was talking with a group of vintage hardware guys on discord one day and he mentioned you could setup the Cisco to provide either a PPP or have it telnet depending on the handshake. He helped me with the config and now I can dial into my Cisco with either a PPP or just a terminal. One gets the typical PPP/Internet the other gets telnetted to my BBS. Same number.
No more janky serial port / modem / syncronet program needed.
