I don't think so, but I have not verified it. I surely had trouble without that. And what I forgot: I had to run minicom to at least once after booting, because some serial line attributes seemed to be wrong (I received garbage). > > I set up pfinet (after killing it with kill -9): > > settrans /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i tun0 > > Does settrans -gf not work? It didn't work always for me. I think if there is a parallel ethernet configuration, and inetd is running, it refuses to go away.

Oh my! Indeed, it works with 600 and 4800 baud, but not with 9600 or higher. But this is interesting, because the test program by Diego, which I cat'ed over the serial port did not show any serial port problems at these speeds. telnet also works.

Yes, you set up a service at the other host (we used a BSD system) and configure the local ppp to send its data over a socket. I will try some pty stuff as soon as I understood it. I had some vague ideas that pty would be the way to make some term tests, but I had no idea yet how to go about it. Your suggestions are highly appreciated and will be turned into a test session soon. Now I will enjoy my ppp connection at 500 bytes a second. Because we don't have any PCMCIA support, that's the best network connection I can get on my laptop under the Hurd. But hey, I don't complain. It's great to not have to reboot just to install telnet!
