Well, I finally have PPP up and working pretty well between my box (Esix
4.0.3) and a sun at work (SunOS 4.1.3).  However, I haven't been able to
get it to work the other way round, albeit I seem tantalizingly close.
If anybody has already tackled this problem (and had experience with
other problems that I am having with, routing through an established PPP
gateway to other machines on the remote network, the use(?) of the
/etc/gateways file, more specific details about /etc/networks, why I had
to link /dev/ppp to /dev/ppp0, etc.), I would appreciate any hints, even
darkly veiled ones!

Both routed and gated (from Cornell) have trouble with popup-interfaces. All
implementations I've seen so far only look for interfaces at startup, so
they're not aware of interfaces ifconfig(1m)-ed afterwards, so you have to try
to get it work by installing static routes. This works for me.

Hope this helps,
