I use the pppd for server (i run an ISP in Brazil) with 16 ppp in each machine. (486 DX66/170M(hd)/16MB memory/NE2000/dumb serial board) 1) enable pppd in the kernel by configure it with the number of ppp connections to be made for the machine. 2) create /etc/ppp/options: modem crtscts mtu 296 3) each time a user logs in, its shell enters a command like: /usr/sbin/pppd passive :200.250.250.75 the system starts up pppd and give the user the control protocol. of course, I have made a logic using awk that find the name of the terminal the user logs in and results it's IP. That is the way I used to do things in Brazil... Sergio de Almeida Lenzi.
