I use the user-ppp on the laptop, since install does not have pppd, and kernel pppd on the server]. I wrote on 08 Jun (in article <865746815.415812@aldan>): =Then I start the pppd with the following config on my little server: = /dev/cuaa0 = local = 57600 = 199.232.255.52:199.232.255.51 = #parity = crtscts = dns1 199.232.255.48 = proxyarp =the server's address is 199.232.255.52 (same as it's ethernet card's, =the laptop's will be 199.232.255.51). Ok. As the handbook suggests, I used another IP address for the pppd on server. The line now says: 199.232.255.50:199.232.255.51 After I say ``term'' on the laptop =ppp on the laptop says "Packet mode" right a way, but then, it just sits =there. Pretty soon, pppd on the server logs: pppd[24199]: No matching compression scheme, CCP disabled and then exits. TIA! -mi -- "Windows for dummies"
