I am having problems getting ppp up and running, i


I have sarched and read all the www docs available, bot none tell me
exactly what is needed.

If anyone will spend a bit of time helping me I will make a detailed faq
and stick it on the www to help others.

Please mail to : paul@maclincs.demon.co.uk    if you can help

2 questions:-

1 does the hostname have to be the same in /etc/hostname.aeo as in
/etc/ppp/options ?
2. do I need to setup a file /etc/hostname.ppp? or similar

system is SE/30 running MacBSD 1.2
