A friend has asked me to help him set up a box that will be: 1) A demand dial router to his ISP B) A Network Address Translator for machines on his LAN This has probably been discussed before, but would anyone with some experience doing PPP like to pipe up with the pros and cons of: A) user level PPP with the tunnel device 2) the Kernel PPP link, with PPPD and NATD It looks to me, at first blush, that the user space PPP program would be easier to configure, and rolls the NAT function into the same place. Plus, it demand dials without external chat or kermit scripts. Is the performance similar? Any other things to look out for? -crl -- Chad R.
