[aclug-L] Arrr... How to emulate a 95 ppp connection...

[Bob Deep <bobd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All..

Why me?

I have to make a ppp connection via a ppp server that the "avarage" user
connects to via a Windows 95 connection...  That's not a real problem,
except, the system administrators don't know how it works...  I basicly
get, "well your username and password work from my Windows box just
fine".

I'm assuming they are right...  But that leaves me with the problem of
figuring out how to make my linux connection behave the same way... I'm
not having much luck...  The connection dies with a FCS error (I figured
out that this is a frame Check Sum) which tells me that we eitehr have a
communication error (stop bit, parity etc) or the two ends of the ppp
link are confused about where the "first" frame starts...  This
information was gleaned from the system log by providing "debug kdebug
7" flags to pppd...

Can someone tell me the exact behavior needed to make such a connection
or sudgest any things I might look at to figure out what's going on? 

They tell me to use Pap, but I doubt we are even getting that far....
