I am sorry about the confusion, I have recieve a few mails concerning
this same subject. I mean to say that Windoz95 does not recieve the
gateway information, or an IP address when using the PPP protocol. The
modems handshake fine, but they can not negotiate a proper protocol. I
am trying to create a dynamic IP address modem pool for my employer, but
I have not been able to get either PPP or slip to work in providing
dynamic IP addresses to the users. I have read all of the documentation
that comes with both slip and PPP, and have tried many different ways to
setup dynamic IP addressing, but I have yet been unsuccessfull. I am
just wondering if there is more documentation out there on setting up a
dynamic IP PPP server or slip server. Thanks for any help. Sorry again
for the initial confusion.

I am confused about the concept of forcing the ISP to set modem speed.
It is the up to the modem pair to determine modem speed, is it not ?
