The cmd "autoselect ppp" instructs the interface to only start the ppp protocol if it detects incoming PPP packets. So the calling device must initiate the PPP negotiation.
However, for this to work on the router, the async. interface must be set to allow the incoming connection to chose the type of session it wants to start. This is done using the "async mode interactive" cmd. This is useful where your asynch. interface is used to connect different types of incoming sessions such as PPP, SLIP, ARAP etc The default is "async mode dedicated" where the async. interface is set to start one type of network session such as PPP for all incoming calls. HTH George Murage P.S This is a pretty loose explanation but you can get the details from Cisco documentation CD - or from somebody on this list who has used the cmds recently :-) -----Original Message----- From: H T [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 2:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help !!!
