c) I run the PD version of PPP (for NeXT) from my home NeXT and
connect to a Sparc running the Sparc PD version of PPP.  I dial a
Telebit trailblazer, telnet to the sparc (since the PPP option on the
Telebit is disabled), and start PPP.  The only catch to make this work
is that you must set the telnet link to binary (passall) mode before
you start PPP.
