I am trying to set up PPP server on OSF1 V4.0 600au Personal Workstation.

The modem (28.8k) has been connected to /dev/tty00 and I did the following things.

1. added a line in /etc/remote as

    modem:dv=/dev/tty00:br#115200:pa=none

2. added a line in /etc/inittab as

    modem:23:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60 tty00 115200

    and did "init q"

3. set modem paramaters so that the modem automatically answers the call

    after three calls. (Using "tip" program)

4. created a new account called "ppp" as

    ppp:*:200:15:Remote PPP Login:/usr/ppp:/usr/sbin/pppd

After all these modifications, I can dial the modem from outside, get login

prompt and successfully login as normal user, get my shell started etc. But as

soon as I try to login as ppp using Windows 95 Dial-In Network or Macintosh's

Free PPP, the PC's or Mac's do not recognize the protocol and can not make

successful ppp connection. Any advice on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

My e-mail address is schoi004_at_unix.temple.edu, if you want to contact me directly.

Thanks.
