Hello all,

I guess it's no surprise, but there are a plethora of explanations and
examples on how to set up dial-OUT ppp, but I can't find much on
configuring dial-IN ppp.

The scenerio is this: Boss/owner wants to be able to dial-in to the
company's network and access it & Internet that way (so he can drop his
home ISP account). Gateway will be a FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE box (installed
next week) The computer dialing in will be either a Windows or Mac
machine - so CHAP or PAP, I assume.

From what I can find, I can use user ppp in -direct mode to recieve
calls. An entry in ppp.conf along this line should work:

sio2
 set ifaddr x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
 enable passwdauth
 allow users username
 accept dns
 set dnx z.z.z.z
 enable proxy

-with the various x.x.x.x set to the appropriate IP addresses.

However, I've seen references to needing getty (and others saying it's
not needed) I also came across a reference that said to add "set
openmode passive"
I'm also rather confused as to what the difference is between cuaa#
devices and sio# devices.

Help of any sort is greatly appreciated. I'm willing to RTFM, but right
now I don't know what FM to read!

TIA,
Bill
