I'm not particularly fond of Me Too postings.  However, on the off
chance that any responses to Howard's request were all over e-mail, I
also am interested in a vxworks PPP.  

Also, to open things up a bit, has anyone ported one of the PD versions
of PPP to a VxWorks environment?  I have copies of the original ppp,
ppp-1.1, and dp-2.2, so if the comments are terse portation notes, I'd
be more than willing to take a look anyway.

Actually, it's for the Macintosh, but....

Have you read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) posting that the maintainer
is posting at an incredibly short interval?  There's details on it in there.

Basically, it's obtainable from merit.edu, /pub/ppp, as I recall...

Hi. I've been trying to get MacPPP working at my University. I'm using
MacPPP 1.0 (not beta) and I believe I'm connecting to a Netblazer.
 
Things seem to be going well. I can reach the netblazer and the protocol
negotiations seem to be sucessful. There are no error messages and my
applications (NCSA Telnet and Fetch) do start. The problem is they
will not connect to any other machines.
 
I think the problem is probably with my configuration of MacTCP. My question
is, is there a way to verify that the PPP connection is working, and it's
actually MacTCP that is causing the problem? I'm thinking of some sign
or maybe a program I can run that will show at least the PPP part of the
connection is working. 
 
Thanks.

I can't speak for their product on DTCs, but as a company I am very happy
with the responsiveness of MSTs engineers.  I have a support contract.
I made a feature request which appeared in their beta version two days 
later.  I had lots of questions, which they answered quickly.  The firewall 
in MST PPP is a cheap and important security solution for us.  There seems 
to be a real effort by MST to satisfy customer needs.

From: <PVJQC@CUNYVM.BITNET>

Organization: City University of New York/ University Computer Center

Hello Slip experts,

     I have gotten public-domain slip (Slip-4.0) working on the Sun4 and
Sun4c  over T3000 telebit modems.  I use kermit to dial out to a Sun4
and then invoke `sliplogin', get back to the the Sun4c, suspend kermit and
invoke sliplogin.  The connection remains and works fine for a day or
2 and then takes both the systems down giving `mbuf map full' kind of
an error.  I had downloaded a patch called 100149-03 and applied on both
the machines hoping the problem would be taken care of.  IT does not help
apparently.  (This patch was obtained from the same site where the slip
distribution was kept).
Does any one know about thsi problem?  Is it something silly that I am missing
or so? I am using the serial port on the cpu board for slip connection( ttya)
  Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hello all!

	First of all, thanks to all those people who responded
to my first request for help.  It really...um...helped.  :)
I've got it working at 38400 baud over a normal serial line.
I've also got two Microcom QX/4232 bis modems, that are capable
of 38400 baud...NOW.  I've gotten PPP to work over the modems
at 9600 baud, but now that I've kicked to speed of the modems
up, the connection is made and PPP is started, and the 
two sides begin to talk to each other, but then both 
modems disconnect.  Has this happened to anyone else before?
It would seem like PPP is sending something that the modems
interpret as "oh hey! Im supposed to hang up."  Does anyone
have any experience with Microcom modems?  Also, is there
any way to get the serial ports up to ~56K?  Any help would
be GREATLY appreciated!  Thanks!

Hello World!

I've got PPP running on a pair of SPARCstations, but  I can't seem

Local Site    Remote Site

That's machines A, B, and C at the local site connected via ethernet and
machines D and E at the remote site connected to each other via ethernet
with PPP running between machines A and D over a dial-up line which I 
bring up after the machines are finished booting.

Machines A and D are communicating with each other, but E can't ping A,
B can't ping D, etc.  I've tried a myriad of things, none of which worked.
Can anybody tell me what I _should_ be doing?  Surely someone has this

I have been trying to configure ka9q as a ppp host on the campus ethernet,

                pc/ka9q
            130.132.21.218

             130.132.21.219

Right now I can ping both 130.132.21.191 and 130.132.21.218 from the next,
so the routing seems to be working to both interfaces on ka9q.  The problem
is that I am unable to ping anything on the other side of 130.132.21.191 
The packets are going out, but are not being received.  I've taken a look
at the arp documentation in ka9q, but can't seem to figure it out.

Any dial router that supports PPP should work.  Candidates are
Telebit's Netblazer, NEC's Dr. Bond, Centrum's remote access server,
and various terminal servers such as ones from Datability, Xyplex, Livingston.

The PC-XRemote package has the advantage of utilizing a proprietary
X-Window packet compression algorithm which squeezes more bandwidth
from the serial line and thus produces higher screen drawing rates.
I don't know which servers it is compatible with.  Cisco's comm server
does support PPP and thus does do the dynamic address assignment you
are looking for.

Hope this helps.

I have gotten a great amount of help with MacPPP and PPP facts
in general--there are a lot of good minds out there. I have one
more question. I am not an UNIX expert, dealing mostly with the
Macintosh side of things, therefore I am not familiar with many
of the strange UNIX goodies that are out there. I understand that
it is possible to use MacPPP to log onto my UNIX machine and then
start PPP from there. I need to find a PPP version for unix, and
some simple instructions on how to install it on my account for
testing purposes. Many thanks for all the previous help. Perhaps
it would be better to post replies as I know many people are
doing much the same thing as I am.    

By the way, I have read the FAQ, and it is FTP`able from merit.edu, I
also saw many .tar files of PPP programs. I just wish I knew which
one to use! Thanks again, -Dan

This won't work because telnet is not a "RAW" terminal emulator.  It has
special escape characters use to abort and such.  These characters have
a nasty habit of wrecking Xremote.  I have been more successful with
"rlogin", but even that will crash for the same reasons that telnet will.
It just takes longer.  Try to log in directly and this will all get 
better!

Good luck!!!
