  Hi, I need some help on MorningStar PPP setup. We have one SS2 run
4.1.2 with PPPbeta1.01 and it was fine when we had a Sun3/50 running
the same package and both these two machine talking well. Recently we
replace the Sun3 with SLC and I try to setup ppp again. The problem I
have now is when I run ppp on SLC, I have the following message:
   ppp:  tcsetpgrp(): inappropriate ioctl ...

  I sent mail to Karl Fox (author) yesterday but he was on vacation.
So I have to post to get some help.

  I appricate any information and I would post summery after.

  Thanks.

  steve

That's not a version number that corresponds to anything we've ever
used for our UNIX networking product, Morning Star PPP.  I suspect
you're using the popular free PPP implementation that's widely
available around the Internet.  It passed through here and got some
porting and polishing work on its way to its current maintainers,
which is why you see our company's name on the READMEs, but what you
have is definitely not our very own Morning Star PPP.  If it were our
product, (a) this bug wouldn't have happened, and (b) if it had
happened, you could have written to support@morningstar.com and it
would have been quickly fixed.

   The problem I have now is when I run ppp on SLC, I have the
   following message:

      ppp:  tcsetpgrp(): inappropriate ioctl ...

That's a problem I seem to remember some users of the free stuff
discussing in this forum, but I don't remember the resolution.  Sorry,
but I doubt that anyone here (including our long-lost vacationing
Karl) will be able to help you much, since it's not our product and we
haven't seen that code for well over a year now.
