Software for dialup

I need to know what is the best software to use for dialup access? I am connecting the console port on my router to my linux box and would like to connect to it using the serial connect. Similar to hyperterminal in Windows. What would I have to emerge. Thanks.

Serial console is not dialup. You only need support in your kernel - see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt

It is the console port on my router that I am connecting to the serial port on the linux server. To connect from the linux server to the router I would need to talk through the serial port similar to dialing on a modem. I would use 9600,n,8,1 as the config for that port.

I emerged minicom and ran it. It seems to work. Need to test it further. Thanks again.
