I seem to be in another bind, and I am turing to all you guru's for help.

I have the following IP set up.

My IP: 206.9.159.17  netmask 255.255.255.240

I am trying to set up incoming ppp using /sbin/ppp - direct  I want my 
incoming callers (windows and mac users) to dynamically be assigned a ppp 
address from 206.9.159.18 - 206.9.159.30

So far no luck.  The modems connect, and logon, but the ppp just excanges 
a few packets and gives up.  niether win95 nor ppp gives any meaningfull
explanation as to why it's failing.  if someone has a good sample of 
ppp.conf (and the logon script to call it) I would appreciate seeing it.)

thanks.


Oh, a second question, on my incoming lines, after the modems connect, 
there is no login prompt, untill I hit enter, is there a way to tell 
getty to send the login prompt as soon as Carrier Dectect comes high?
