I have to connect a Win 95 PC with a FreeBSD PC through a serial null
modem cable in TCP/IP with PPP protocol. Win 95 PC is calling with
Remote Access. I have a inf file that simulates a modem. This inf is
working if I connect a Win 95 PC with another with Remote Access
Server running. But I can't connect with FreeBSD. Under FreeBSD, there
is a tty running on the serial port so I may remote login through a
terminal (the one of Remote Access). The shell of this terminal is a
script launching pppd. But after this, the "fake" modem send a "HELO"
and wait for a known string, so PPP don't start (pppd starts PPP but
Remote Access don't).
Please, anyone may help me? And please, reply to me in the newsgroup
and in e-mail too. Thanks.
Bye!
