I would like to provide dial-in access to my proxy server for a friend

by dialing into this proxy server, with authentication. In other
words, I would be a one-client ISP.

Obviously from the date, it's on the old side, and it's describing how
it's done on a RH7.0 system - but it's not using Red Hat specific tools.
I already run a proxy server running Squid which listens for incoming
Internet connections from a restricted range of ip's (for another
unrelated project), and need to configure this server to listen for
incoming dial-in connections on its modem.
The howto above
I would also set up a DHCP server on this machine.
Dialin doesn't use DHCP, so unless you need it for some OTHER service,
it's not needed here. See the 'pppd' man page, and look at the colon
option (first item under the OPTIONS section).
I'm sure this is possible, but would like to solicit specific
ideas about how to proceed.
Start with the HOWTO - come back with details (your distribution being
one important one) if you need more help.
