- Hi, i was wondering, has anyone run successfully ppp
- over a crossed rs232 wire?
-
- I have this setup with a SPARC ipc (SUNOS 4.1.2 ) and a
- 386PC, normally i used kermit as a dump terminal tool, works find here.
-
- Now, i have setup ppp-1.1.tar.Z from cayman ( FAQ5.1.1.1 )
- and i got ppp.exe from merit.
-
- I can't seem to get the connection for PPP running, the
- error message is unable to establish IP address, PPP aborted.
-
- On the SUN, i can't get any other messages except this occasional
- ones that appears in the message file

-
- Also, i forget to mentiont that i only followed the instruction in
- the main directory of ppp-1.1, that is the README.sun,
- i.e compile a new vmunix with ppp
- make pppd and pppstats and setuid both
-
- there is another readme in the "chat" directory which i have difficulty
- with, i can't find the "ppp" file that it mention in all the script file.
-
-
- on the 386, i use this command line
- ppp /c 2 /s 9600
- ppp /c 2 /s 9600 lincoln/pmilton
-
- both doesn't work.
-
-
- Any pointers on where to start will be appreciated,
-
