Perry) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: a different pppd? Date: 20 Sep 1994 18:32:20 -0500 Organization: J. P. and Associates Lines: 14 Message-ID: <35nre4$2pp@jpunix.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: jpunix.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #1 (NOV) I'm running FreeBSD 1.1R. It would really be nice if I could get ppp to work as well as slip does under this implementation. I found a some sources to ppp-1.2. Has anyone had any experience with this version? Will it run on my system if I can get it to compile? Will this version support re-eastablishing the circuit if it breaks? In other works, will it redial or at least act like a login shell if I can get the upstream system to call? Please advise.
