Ok, I've got another interesting one for you guys.  I'm running a
BSD2.0 server and I have a modem connected to one of the com ports for
dial in access.  The server is on the internet, so if I start a PPP
connection, I am assigned an IP addy, etc and on the internet as well.
However, my problem is that using Dial-Up networking from a Windows95
machine requires a logon script.  Occasionally I'm at a customer site
and don't want to take the time to install the scripting tool, etc.
Does anyone know of an easy way to setup BSd so that it will interpret
the Windows 95 dial-up networking expectations and logon without a
script or know where I can find such information?

Thanks in advance!  Your help is greatly appreciated!
