The SCO documentation is a bit thin on how PPP should be set 
up...

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I can do the following 
(on SCO UNIX 3.2.4.1):

I need to set up a UNIX system which is on an ethernet LAN (with 
its own IP address), so it can call up a PPP link to another 
network, and use a different IP address on the remote network.

Of course I could do this by changing the IP address of the 
UNIX system whenever I need to connect to the dial up system, 
but this is not very practical, and does not cater for the situation 
when you want to use both the ethernet LAN and the PPP links 
at the same time.

I guess I need to use the ifconfig and route commands, but there 
doesn't seem to be much info in the manuals as to how the above 
configuration could be set up.

Thanks for any help!

Please EMAIL replies and I'll post a summary if there's interest.

There's a bug in SCO TCP 1.2 (but not in 1.1.3) that prevents this
scenario with SCO's PPP, and with any other PPP or SLIP software you
might try to use on your SCO system.  You can get the fix from
ftp.morningstar.com:pub/tools/SCO-route-fix, or through SCO's normal
support channels.
