I have been given conflicting answers to the following question,
can anyone give me more?

I run PPP at home and at a remote machine "CIT".  I can connect
to CIT three ways:

1) direct dial a modem connected to the machine 
2) dial a modem connected to a terminal server connected to the machine
3) dial another machine on the internet, and connect via telnet.

If I use (2) or (3), and can establish an 8 bit clean path, can I
run PPP successfully?  I have been told the following:

a. not unless you use Morningstar PPP (public domain can't do it)
b. yes, using dp-beta
c. (your response?)
