Good!

Perhaps we should, but if you have a different monitor, the forth one
perhaps, the rules for typing that command might be markedly different.
That probably is not a big problem with this group though. 8^)

Perhaps we should just add something like: You can do this with the standard
ROM monitor by typing "download 260000" and "run 3be020".

I put off the reinstall on my machine a very long time because I
always have problems with it, and it's always a pain.  Anyway, my
pc532 /etc/ppp/options looks like this:

     /dev/tty01
     38400
     noauth
     crtscts
     defaultroute
     debug
     local

And the Sparcstation LX (acting as the home router) /etc/ppp/options
looks like this:

     /dev/ttyb
     38400
     crtscts
     passive
     local
     persist
     debug
     noauth
     192.168.2.1:192.168.2.2
     netmask 255.255.255.255

Actually, I think that's how they used to be, those files have been
moved to /etc/ppp/peers/<other-machine-name> and I added some ipv6
stuff.  I think the only critical things I really needed were local
and perhaps crtscts (beyond the obvious stuff).  I think you can
skip the persist and passive stuff if you start both sides of the
link in a timely manner.
