Then set up the : pppd for chap. This still needs a client-side script to enter "ppp" at the login prompt, which suxs a little :) : huh? Using usermode ppp you can have it argue with the server to try to : obtain specific IPs. If you want to do specific addressing I think that : is possible, don't know though. Yup its possible depending on what you want to do as to how difficult it is :) : > I have read the handbook, FAQ and others documents, but there is no : > relay good advice on "server side" PPP. : Go look again. I'm pretty sure there is a whole section devoted to all : aspects of ppp, client and server. Yes but its pretty dated, and doesn't really address the current type of support that ISP's want to provide... like out of the box support for Win95, with negotiation of NameServer addresses etc. Perhaps a "tutorial" for the tutorials section on setting up dialup access for ISP and other applications with notes about all the client specific breakages would be of use??? anyone think so?
