You'll then need to kill the pppd and rewrite it's config file in the startup script so that it acts as a server. This is probably going to push the limit of a 1.44mb floppy, so you may end up having to format a 1.7mb (there are some windows programs to do that or you can use Linux). You're actually pushing the limits of STN here too, it may be time to migrate to a full-blown copy of Linux.
