Hi,

we use ppp on our Sun to connect to Demon Internet Services. In fact
we use the dp-2.2 dialup-ppp package.  I would like to be able to back
up our Wyse notebook onto our Sun, and transfer files across.  Could I
do this with a ppp package for the Wyse and no changes to our Sun ?
If so, what ppp packages are around on the net, and how would I
configure the Sun ?

Any pointers to what is probably an FAQ (or any other help) appreciated,
Pete

(I'd appreciate replies by mail - I will summarise the responses).
