You want to use the use-land PPP. How to do it is explained on the man page. They way I accomplished it that worked for M$ boxes to dial in to my comapany's LAN is to set up the "pp" string in gettytab to point to a script that runs "ppp -direct server", with the "server:" section of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf setting up the PPP connection parameters. This is all on the man page. The only thing I found was that enabling CHAP doesn't work, you use PAP only. You also need to set up "ppp.secrets" with user names and passwords. Let the getty set the speed and do the login: and password: stuff. The "pp" string gets fired upon detection of an HDLC frame by the getty. Hope this helps. -- Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
