IIRC the developer tools (which includes XCode) are on your 10.5 disk. If not, you need to download it from Apple; at developer.apple.com. There's a package that claims to worl with NeXT and BSD, so might be adaptable to OS X here <http://freecode.com/projects/pppd> Good freakin' luck, you're going to need it! :-) Might be easier to hunt down an actual terminal server to do this, like this: <http://www.ipcas.com/products/ppp-gateway.html> or an old Shiva LanRover; here's one for $25 :<http://shop.bizsyscon.com/shiva-lanrover-8e-8-port-remote-access-server/> We used one of these for years as our dial-in box for the college. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
