Ok. I took everyones advice and added the IP addresses 198.20.0.1 and
198.20.0.2 to the host files of both computers. One address for one computer
and the other IP for the other computer. I used the following command on the
each computer:
pppd -detach crtscts lock <local IP>:<Other IP> 34800 &
Both went back to the command line prompt. I ran PS -A on the Mandrake box
and saw the pppd running. I ran the ps command on the Debian box and the
pppd immediately exited and was no longer running. I don't understand why
the Debian box isn't holding the connection. All of the PPP software is
there and the PPP and SLIP modules are present.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanx,
SA
