Hi all,

Looking through the man pages of the latest
user-ppp I see something called "proxy arp".

Indeed I seem to have it working when 
accepting dial ins, and now I can ftp
to other machines on the LAN when
dialed in from home.

This is good. But what is "proxy arp"?

Done some trolling but no luck so far.

Eddie.
