Hi,
Well since my last post I am able to establish a PPP
connection to my PPP server though it is a bit tweaky
in the sense that the connection gets dropped at various
points of the chat/negotiation....it didn't do this before.
When I am able to connect to the server, it is a fairly
robust connection but I can't ping anything other that the
server.
My setup was a PPP server (linux-2.0.27 ppp-2.2.0) connected
to an ethernet to the 'Net. I would call in over the modem
and establish a PPP connection and all was good.
Now I have ugraded the server to linux 2.2.13 and ppp-2.3.7.
This may be a routing related problem as the new routing code
has new behaviour I need to learn. To top it off, my server
uses a block of IP's subnett'd to me, so ifconfig etc, always
trys to second guess the netmask which comes out wrong since
this is a subnet. So maybe when the proxyarp happens, the
wrong netmask gets involved or something.
If anyone is using the current kernel and ppp with a similar
setup has any comments I would be appreciative.
Thanks again!

Here are some particulars:
My chat script:
/usr/sbin/pppd -d connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v "" AT OK ATDT2415825 CONNECT "" ogi
n: myaccount ord: \
secret '
On the server, in the passwd file for 'myaccount':
/etc/ppp/ppplogin
In /etc/ppp I have;
options file: noauth
options.ttyS1 file: detach modem crtscts proxyarp :207.104.7.117
