Greetings-

I have posted this question a couple of times, without any help. Of course
this is a newsgroup and I cant expect any help, but I will post again.
I have also asked BSDI tech support, but they "refuse" to give me any real
help.(even though I pay for support).

I have a server in which I have dial-in PPP users.
I have 1 user that wishes to dial-in and make use of multiple IP (on a
different subnet of course).
The bsd/os PPP machine is 206.98.12.66 netmask 255.255.255.192 gateway
206.98.12.65.
I have a free subnet of 206.103.210.0.
So if I wanted to allocate that whole class c net to the dialin user, I of
course need to do a few things with the bsd/os ppp server.
My first impression is to add the net to the routing table.

> route add -net 206.103.210.0 206.103.210.1

This would add the network of 206.103.210.0 and the gateway would be
206.103.210.1 which would also be the IP address of the ppp dialin client.
I dont believe a arp entry is required in this case, and if it is, it will
not work (cannot intuit interface index and type for 206.103.210.1)
My /etc/ppp.sys says:

> Puser:di:if inet=206.98.12.66 206.103.210.1 netmask 255.255.255.0:in#100

I cannot get a ping out of the dialin user when the client side logs in.
Anyone have some ideas they can throw my way?

Help appreciated,
