OK, I found pppd and downloaded it. I have a little scenario that I'd
like to know if it is possible:
I have two Macs (the Performa 600 and the IIsi, the IIsi running NetBSD).
They are connected via printer port to each other.
Now, I (unfortunately) only have 1 modem. What I'm asking is:
Could I hook this modem up to the IIsi, then dial up my ISP and connect
using pppd, then use a PPP server on the IIsi, and allow my Performa 600
to connect via the printer cable and MacTCP and MacPPP to the IIsi?
Just a theoritical situation...
The only thing I am having problems understanding is how to simulate a
TCP network between the Performa and IIsi.
If this is possible, could someone recommend a nice PPP server?
