We'll return to gedau@pobox.com and All's
discussion of PPP setup

 ge> PPP is supposed to be a standard protocol, I know Linux-Linux,
 ge> Linux-Sun, Linux-NT work fine.  You should be ok.

Never had any problems with PPP here. :-)

 ge> Man pages are fine, but you should also read the PPP How-To, it's got
 ge> more detail on how to set it up.  You need networking set up in your
 ge> kernel, and the PPP modules set up too.  Explained in the PPP How-To,
 ge> or mail me direct for more detail.

The How-To is the best reference IMHO, and goes beyond what most people
need to know.

 ge> PAP and CHAP are for authentication. Your ISP probably uses PAP. This

If any.  Many UNIX based systems don't authenticate at the PPP level,
ask the ISPs technical support for information on this (assuming they
know more than how to hook up a Windoze box with their s/w :-) ).

 ge> I don't need dip in my case since the other end is running PPPd direct
 ge> on the listening port. My chat script is therefore simple, but I cant
 ge> copy it to you from here. If you want a copy of my chat script, once
 ge> again just mail me,  gedau@pobox.com

chat is fine for most situations.  It's good enough for me to get past
the other system's login prompts and start ppp on the remote.  dip is
really only needed for tricky login sequences. :-)

... In a world of masks there are few facades that last.
