hi,

I have waited for about a week and have not seen any posting related this 
question, so I guess it should be OK for me to ask it now ??

I have a PC at home, usually I use the modem to dial-in to a terminal server,
the server will prompt for a machine name, after I enter my machine name, 
the server then login to the machine for me.

my question is this,
is it possible after I log-in to my machine (SUN Sparc 4.1.1), start some
program, push the ppp line discipline (or whatever needs to be done), and 
starts a PPP connection with my PC ??

I think our terminal server probably supports PPP connetion too, but if I can
start the PPP connection on my own machine, I can have more control over the
PPP connection, and I can also learn the PPP protocol better.

any information or pointer is greatly appreciated.
