Does anyone use a call-back facility? That is, does anyone phone his/her
company and they call back to establish an internet connection? If so could
you please give me some info on it. I don't like the idea of using Windows
NT.

I think mgetty can be set up to do call back.  Also the LSM shows 2:

Title:
      Callback package for Linux 
Version:
      1.21 
Description:
      This package allows callback for Linux systems which are
      equipped with a modem. Prerequisites are: setserial 2.0.2 or
      higher and getty_ps 2.0.7b or higher. Contained are three
      programs: cblogin, a login-program for dial-in connections,
      cbgetty, a pseudo-getty and cbstat, a user-administrator's
      tool. The package contains a file callback.doc, which provides a
      comprehensive guide to the installation of a dial-in and
      dial-out modem before addressing the callback issue. This guide
      may be valuable even for the `bare' modem installation.

      xringd 
Version:
      0.6 
Entered-date:
      16JAN96 
Description:
      The Linux Extended Ring Daemon. It matches "sequences" of a ring/timedelay "alphabet" with
      rings and time delays coming from a modem. A fully matched sequence will execute a specified
      command. Thus, commands can be run while your modem stays on-hook. Does not affect getty's
      or other progs using the same port. Source and an aout bin are included.
