From all the playing I have done with it, PPP (at least the PC/TCP 
version 2.1 from FTP Software) will work on port 1 with the same 
subnet address as the Ethernet interface.  Ports 2-16 require a 
different subnet.  Interestingly enough, once any port has been used
for PPP, you can change it to the same subnet address and it will
work.

Also, you will need the 9.1.1 PROMS to get PPP to work at all.  Finally, 
it seems that you need to wait around one minute before negotiation will 
work - anything before that time is rejected.

This is all supposed to be fixed with the 9.2 PROMS.

Good Luck!
