Hi,
I could use some help on getting a PPP connection over a null modem up.
The null modem connects the modem ports on two macs (running NetBSD/mac68k
1.3.2). I want to be able to rlogin/telnet and ftp between the machines.
The problem is that after reading the man pages (pppd(8) etc.) and Dr.
Stundenmunds ppp kit I'm still really clueless ;-)
For starters: How can I make the "server" send an LCP echo? I tried
pppd /dev/tty01 passive on the server hoping that would make it listen for
the client, but that just hung the machine. TIA,
Johan
