I got my macbsd box to do dialup ppp just fine, dialing up to my ISP.
As far as I can tell, the macbsd kernel does not support the ethernet card
i have
(a comm-slot card on a Quadra 630).
I want my other machine at home (a P166 running win95) to be able to
connect to the macbsd box and run ppp and be able to at least get to my
macbsd box which can proxy. Hopefully i can make the win95 box get out to
the rest of the net directly (i also help run the ISP, so that's no problem).
I got it to the point where i can run a terminal emulator on the win95 box
and open up a shell on the macbsd box, so all my cables and things are
straight.
my question is, how do i do this?? i know on bsdi boxes, there is a 'ppp'
command and an /etc/ppp.sys file that does ppp serving. how do i do such
ppp serving on my macbsd box?
please let me know if you have any ideas or experience.
please cc responses to my mailbox.
(if i have been unclear on anything, please let me know -- it's late at night)
thank you,
matt
