Hi, 
In the section "setting up a PPP server, 26.5:Setting up the PPP option files", I can 
read the following: 

" You will almost certainly wish to provide dynamic IP number allocation 
to your dial up users. You can accomplish this by allocating an IP 
number to each dial up port. Now, create a /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX 
for each dial up port. 
In this, simply put the local (server) IP number and the IP number that 
is to be used for that port. For example 

kepler:slip01 " 

My question is: In the line "kepler:slip01 ", is "kepler" the name of the machine and 
"slip01" is of course 
                       the 1st slip interface. But you said before, that it should be 
the IP of the machine "kepler" 
                      and an another IP used for that port (which means port slip01). 
                     So , let's say that "kepler" is the name of my linux box and that 
it's IP is 192.168.1.2. 
                     And that the port I'm using is ppp1. Can I attribute an IP to my 
port ppp1 and have 
                    this set this way: 
                  192.168.1.2:<IP_I_attribute_to_the_PPP-port>        instead of   
"kepler:slip01 " 

Thanks for your response 

Gregg Lloyd
