]Hi all;

]I have RedHat 6.2, a nic, a fax/modem, networked to a win95 box on and
]off. Trying to set the rh box as a dialin server (using mgetty) and
]trying to dialin with a mac performa 580.

]The /var/log/ppp shows that the mac connects and logs in, but then it
]says it can not determine the local ip.

Do you tell it what IP to use?
:the.remote.ip.number
in /etc/ppp/options
Eg 
:10.1.1.1

]options.srv

How does this file get called by your pppd?
Which version of pppd are you using?

]	oauth
?what is oauth?

]	lock
]	modem
]	crtscts
]	proxyarp
]	asyncmap 0
]	192.168.1.1:192.168.1.25
]	login

]pap-secrets
]	user1 192.168.1.1 "" 192.168.1.25
]	user2 192.168.1.1 "" 192.168.1.25
Replace the 192.168.1.1 with *



]The macs hosts file is

]	127.0.0.1 localhost
]	192.168.1.1 sgtech
