I'm not exactly a fan of man pages in general, and certainly not as
tutorial
material, however man PPP is the exception in that it covers this
stuff quite
well. Its one of the very few intelligible man docs, I understand it
was
largely written by the developer of user-ppp (Brian Somers)...... I
don't use
mgetty though because I've never had much joy with the auto-ppp
feature
Apparently there was some sort of communication issue between someone
@
FreeBSD & someone @ mgetty that resulted in a partly broken auto-ppp.
The word is out that its been fixed recently however. The standard (ie
default)
getty works fine with unix dialin clients & also with Windows ones as
long as
you login manually (I've got an auto login script for Win95 / 98 / ME,
but it
doesn't seem to work with NT / 2000)
If you need something basic, see the quite explicit tutorial I did a
while back on
on configuring a FreeBSD gateway, there is info on the dialin ppp
stuff towards
the end ("Pedantic FreeBSD" at http://troll.apana.org.au/~freebsd/ )
