To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 9 Sep 96 16:24:02 EST Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Is it possible to get ijppp and/or pppd to work in two different modes, ie a calling(sort of client) and a server mode that answers the incoming call by another ijppp or pppd process ? The requirement is to connect 2 locations and with either end sending outgoing (from each location's point of view) will demand-dial out. But no one side is guranteed to be the one that is doing the dial-out or the answering always, ie it may be one that answers the call. Just think of using it as a simple remote office connection.
