I suspect you're way ahead of the problem. Has the original poster
tried "set openmode active" ? Without this, a client ppp will wait
for the server to initiate LCP.
I think it may be frugal to make this the default for both client
*and* server. A lot of server implementations wait for the client
to start. Any comments ?
