From what i can see of the handbook at the moment we have...
12. PPP and SLIP 12.1. Setting up user PPP 12.2. Setting up kernel PPP 12.3. Setting up a SLIP client 12.4. Setting up a SLIP server
which seems a little wierd. I checked out the above mentioned document, and think its great - but user ppp can also be used in a server configuration, and enables support of pred1 compression, and other neat things...
Very true. From what I understand though, iijppp has some bugs (spontaneously closing, not quitting after hangup) that may not be conductive to using it as a server. This is what I understand from -questions, reality may vary :-)
Perhaps we should restructure this section as
12. PPP and SLIP 12.1 Setting up a PPP client 12.1.1 Using user PPP ... etc.. 12.1.2 Using kernel PPP ... etc..
12.2 Setting up a PPP server 12.2.1 Using user PPP ... etc.. 12.2.2 Using kernel PPP ... etc..
12.3 Setting up a SLIP client 12.4 Setting up a SLIP server
Thoughts? Comments? I'm quite happy to write up the document on using user PPP as a server if there is a need.
That would be great.
