Hi. I've been trying to get MacPPP working at my University. I'm using
MacPPP 1.0 (not beta) and I believe I'm connecting to a Netblazer.
 
Things seem to be going well. I can reach the netblazer and the protocol
negotiations seem to be sucessful. There are no error messages and my
applications (NCSA Telnet and Fetch) do start. The problem is they
will not connect to any other machines.
 
I think the problem is probably with my configuration of MacTCP. My question
is, is there a way to verify that the PPP connection is working, and it's
actually MacTCP that is causing the problem? I'm thinking of some sign
or maybe a program I can run that will show at least the PPP part of the
connection is working. 
 
Thanks.
