I am trying to run PPP between two PCs.  One of the PCs, my PPP server, has
a connection to the ethernet.  Right now, I have a null modem cable (3 pins)
connecting the two machines together.

After running NET.EXE on both machines, I discover that both machines are
waiting to negotiate LCP.  By doing a 'ppp status pp0', i see that the server
is sending LCP packets.  I also see that the client is also sending LCP
packets.  ( I have both set to activeopen. ).  However, the server can 
receive the LCP packets from the client, but the client is not receiving 
any LCP packets from the server!  The server seems to be responding, but
the client is not!

HELP!  Any idea why this would be?  Do I need a cable that has CTS, etc. 
signals?  ANy ideas would be greatly appreciated at this time!

Eric
