PPPD is for running IP over serial HDLC links, the ed1 interface is for running IP over an ethenet segment. Now you could run ed1 interface into a router and come out frame relay, ISDN, ATM for example. So, the answer to the question is, you don't. PPPD to serial links, ed1/ed0....ethernet inferface to ethernet. No, the ed1 interface wouldn't talk to a token ring. Well, you could use an IBM 8209..... ritz@ritz.mordor.com (Chris Mauritz) wrote: >Christine Maxwell (kaila@crl.com) wrote: >: Is it possible to use pppd with an ethernet card such as ed1?
