[oclug] pppd

[Gregory Gee]

  Can you send me the pppd parameters you ued to do this.  I managed to get this
working before, but I lost my notes.  As for your problem, the Palm to linux connection
should be in a different subnet such as 192.168.1.x.  Also make sure you turn on
IP forwarding. It all worked for me except for DNS.  I could use the a Palm ping
and telnet program fine only if I used IP addresses and not hostnames.
