Since the first release of this document in June 1997
I have received many email messages related to the subject. In most of
the messages people were seeking more help to get the modem sharing
configured and running.
Recently I received an interesting feedback from
Karsten.Hilbert@gmx.net. Karsten pointed out that
although DialOut/IP may be a good client
program he'd like to have a
GPL'ed client. Karsten mentioned
the Software Bazaar
<http://visar.csustan.edu/bazaar/>
and he volunteered to put in an offer. Here is what Karsen wrote:

Hi !
The howto mentions DialOut/IP as a good tool to connect Windows
clients to a linux server sharing a modem.
I agree. However, it would be more attractive to have a free,
GPL'ed client, wouldn't it ? This I thought and decided to offer
some money for the implementation of such a client on the
Software Bazaar. If someone grabs the project I will pay him a
certain amount of money if it is completed and functional. After
that the client would be GPL'ed.
Now, I can only offer so much money :) But other people could
join in and offer some, too, thus increasing the incentive.
Wouldn't your howto be a perfect place to mention this
possibility ?
The Bazaar can be found at:

Thought I could mention this to you.
