Hi! I'm trying to set up an old laptop to use while traveling.
Here are my trouble, posted in a hope, them some kind soul will
go out of it's way to help me :)

The MegahertzXJ10CB card is not recognized by PAO boot (2.2.1).
Alright, I do not insist, let's use the null cable...

The install on laptop brings me into the interactive ``ppp'', where I
say ``term''.

Then I start the pppd with the following config on my little server:
	/dev/cuaa0
	local
	57600
	199.232.255.52:199.232.255.51
	#parity
	crtscts
	dns1 199.232.255.48
	proxyarp

the server's address is 199.232.255.52 (same as it's ethernet card's,
the laptop's will be 199.232.255.51).

ppp on the laptop says "Packet mode" right a way, but then, it just sits
there. And RPC requests made mount_nfs are failing. And I can not ping
the 199.232.255.51 from the server.

TIA

	-mi
