I just received a reply from a collegue who has been helping with this - he
found an answer via google.
The correct syntax is apparently to prepend the VPI/VCI with 0 or 1 for example.
So the call becomes...
plugin pppoatm.so 0.0.38
Or
plugin pppoatm.so 1.0.38
...for my situation.
Useful to know.
There is an example here:
http://www.le-foll.demon.co.uk/dlf/ATMTCP-ppp-HOWTO%20V1.1.pdf on page 7.
Sorry to ask the question then immediately find the answer, but isn't that
always the way it happens!
Best regards
Steve
