without the particular user/IP lines, it wouldn't connet; unauthorized
remote IP address. The IPs are specified in the options.ttyS* files.
Let me get this straight: you used this form:
usernamehostname *
And the client specified its own IP address, but it didn't work?
Try using ipcp-accept-local or ipcp-accept-remote options, and read
/usr/doc/ppp/README.STATIC-IP... I guess that could work.
I remember seeing a very similar problem once... I also remember fixing it
by typing the password in the pap-secrets :)
This server is running 2.3.11-1.3; I have another server running
2.3.11-1.1 which is working just fine.
No changes to pppd itself have been made between those two versions, just
packaging changes.
