Unless you can comprehend the dreadful makefile that comes with mgetty I'd avoid it like the plague. The problem I've had with mgetty is that the AutoPPP function is broken & nothing short of a compile will (maybe) fix it. There was a report someplace that its been fixed in later versions but I haven't had the time to verify that. By far the best explanation of dialin setup I've found is in MAN PPP ... probably the ONLY man page thats halfway intelligible but then it was done largely by the arch guru of PPP ... what Brian Somers doesn't know about PPP isn't worth knowing. I found that infinitely more descriptive than eg the Handbook & Pedantic PPP. There are three different configs discussed ... the first is fiddly, the second works brlliantly for me with proper IPs but I've yet to get it running with NAT, & the third is a dog because it relies on mgetty. ----- Original Message ----- From: <doug@safeport.com> To: "Rodrick Brown" <Rodrick_Brown@newyorklife.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 11:13 AM Subject: Re: FreeBSD Dialin setup > post this to freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG.
