Although it appears to not be causing you any problems the local and modem options are mutually exclusive. Removing the modem option is probably what you need. Everything else looks fine but it would be handy to see the options on the client machine too.
Doh! I put that in by accident. I had it removed in an earlier config.
The client is a old Apple PowerBook 270c running MacOS 7.6.1 using FreePPP and OT/PPP.
Ok, so the client machine successfully gets the 10.0.0.2 ip address?
Yup.
What is your ethernet card IP address and netmask on the server? 10.0.0.2 will have to be a valid address on the subnet configured on your ethernet card.
ifconfig eth0
inet addr:24.108.134.43 Bcast:24.108.135.255 Mask:255.255.252.0
route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
24.108.132.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 24.108.132.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Perhaps you need to upgrade to newer ppp and/or man-pages ??
Oh it's in the man pages, I just never read that option nor did any of the documentation I read mention it.

Thanks for all your help! I've been doing this configuration usually late at night and not all the synapses are firing then. ;)
