[Questions about PPP setup fields elided]

I'll mail you a MacPPP set-up guide this evening. Generally speaking
the PPP values set by default are correct (well, they match those
used by DOS KA9Q anyhow...) MacTCP needs setting as a node on a class
b subnet, but all this is in the set-up guide.

I think it's just something with this implementation, that it can
take a while to negociate the session properly. Make certain nthat
you see the 'HELLO' before pressing the 'OK, Connect' button.
