namely, choise yourself 2 extra host/interface names in /etc/hosts..
like BSD-mac.my.domain and Mac.my.domain with whatever IP-nr.

next, vipw and add a user that doesn't start csh (shell~dos-promt~finder) but
pppd (the ppp daemon).
you can:
find . -name 'pppd' -exec ls -l {} ";"
if you need the path (in wich folder, in wich folder, ...).

then, mkdir /etc/ppp if it doesn't exist.
and finally vi /etc/ppp/options..
type in (i):
BSD-mac.my.domain:Mac.my.domain

i suppose you know how to setup the mac side &
my spelling is bad.

Let us hear the results!
(hope i didn't forget anything)
