Hi!

I've tried to set up PPP under bsdi 2.01 without success. PPP starts without any 
problems and all setups should be correct. I've tried to use the PPP connection 
under Windows and Linux, but i can only connect to the local network. Anything 
else leaves Netscape in "Host contacted, Waiting for reply" state. It seems 
like the tcp/ip packets can't find their way back, so what's the solution ? routed 
? gated ?

TIA
