Login allows login services such as telnet, rlogin and PortMaster login
service (pmnetd). Network allows PPP and SLIP framed connections. The
dialin part specifics the direction of the connection. If you had put it as
dialout as the only option without dialin you would be able to dial out but
customers could not dial in. Specifying both dialin and dialout would allow
both inbound and outbound connections.

Depends on what services you offer. If you have people who dial in using a
terminal and drop to a shell account you need login service. If not you can
just use PPP/SLIP.
