After fighting code that wouldn't compile, missing instructions in the installation steps, absolutely no documentation whatsoever on how to run it, and (finally) Segmentation faults when feeding it IP addresses that are more than 12 digits long (e.g. `128.149.1.97:128.149.1.95' works, but `128.149.180.1:128.149.180.2' gets a SIGSEGV), I could never getting the damn thing to work right even when I could get it to run (the ppp0 interface gets configured, seemingly correctly, but even though on the remote host there is a host route from the local IP addr fed to `ppp' to the remote, a `ping' of the local addr yields `Host unreachable' - !!! - and a `ping' of the remote hosts sees packets going out over the modem, but no response from the remote end )^: ). Has *anyone* successfully installed the Brad Clements asynchronous version of the CMU PPP code between 2 post-4.0 Suns?!? If so, would you care to share your wisdom? I've been banging my head on this for 2 days now ... -- - Greg Earle | "This is Kraft. It uses a blue box. Sun Microsystems, Inc. | This is Stouffer's. It uses red.
