Robert,

Well, I feel quite home on Linux machines, but I don't 100% understand
your question. If it is only a shell acount you would like to provide
that is one thing and is simple to do. Just like setting a user up as a
regular user with privileges to the resources as required. Once that is
done tell them to use telnet to access it.
If you want to do dial-up into your Linux box that is a bigger cookie,
but not impossible, but I am not sure it is worth the hastle to have a
separate dial-up server and user database on your Linux machine,
separate from your main Dial-Up database. Still that is for you to
decide.

If you were able to do what is needed or you have other questions I'd be
glad to give additional help.

Sincerely,
..Endre Palfi
