 Has anyone set up the PPP emulator for a shell acct and with FBSD?
If I have compiled the Slirp properly and can initiate the slirp bin in 
the shell acct on the server via say seyon does one just exit seyon and 
connect via the PPP program? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have put the neccessary parameters for DNS IP address etc i.e. 
configured the resolver,  created /etc/hosts file etc/resolv.conf. file 
and created dynamic IP configuration. So basically once connected via 
a comm program say seyon does one exit and state the pppd?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
