Okay, I've looked at the mgetty source and some simple getty with AutoPPP
support who's source is on the net.
Both use a system in which they check for these bytes in this order:
PPP_FRAME
PPP_STATION
PPP_CONTROL
PPP_LCP_HI
PPP_LCP_LOW
I'd just like to get this right...
The client dials up, server answers, they connect.
Server sends login: prompt.
- If the client wants it just starts talking PPP, sending the above characters.
The server detects PPP and fires off pppd and authentication is done using
PAP, CHAP or MS-CHAP.
OR
- The client sends a username and password, server authenticates and fires
off pppd.
Is this right?
Thanks again
