how do I do it?
from the ppp manpage:
...
o Supports PPP over TCP capability.
...
I assume this means that I can telnet to an ISP, then run the equivalent
of `ppp -direct' to initiate the ppp server and have a ppp link running
over the initial telnet connection. How do I initiate this from
ppp, what do I set as the device etc...
Another application of this could be some security. For example a
person could get a ppp/slip/ethernet connection to a local service
providor, then fire up a pap/chap authenticated link to some other
secure/paranoid machine across the net. Is this true, or is there a
simpler way?
