[Mr. Whitwell speaks] I think they're OK. In "/etc/ppp/pap-secrets" I have: * <hostname> "" which the installation script put in, and which I haven't changed (<hostname> is, of course, the name of the machine being dialed-up). I basically haven't changed anything from the default mgetty and ppp install. In "/etc/ppp/options", I uncommented an "ms-dns" line and added our DNS. I copied "/etc/options.ttyXX" to "/etc/ppp/options.ttyS1" and changed it to read "<hostname>:<serial-port-ip>". Both of these are in our DNS. In "/etc/mgetty/login.config" I have: /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login which is unchanged from the installation (I don't seem to be having any problems with mgetty in any case). The client machines (that dial the Linux box) are a mix of Mac (running OT/PPP 1.0.1) and Windows 95 machines. Both have worked before with the previous ppp (I think it was 2.2.0-f-<mumblemumble>). Can anyone see anything that I've missed. I'd be thankful for any further comments anyone can make.
