Hi.

In article <33C9815A.4EF3@valuation.com> ,

In BSD/OS 2.1, it has no chap/pap on ppp. So we cannot use BSD/OS
2.1 for Livingston with chap/pap. Or Livingston's address or
user setting can be wrong. 

It looks like ppp on BSD/OS 3.0 works well. But configuration
procedure becomes extremely difficult. You have to fight with
/etc/ppp.sys, /etc/ttys.*, /etc/group, /etc/dialer.rules instead
of single /etc/ppp.sys. 

I find gettyd sometimes fails to detect line status, it close
suddenly or it fails to find open line...  Maybe it is better
to stop gettyd, but, I already setup these....

Iijppp with tunnel device on BSD/OS 2.1, and not on BSD/OS 3.0.
