NT's remote access server uses a Microsoft flavor of PPP that is designed to shelter the fragile folks who use Windows 95 and 3.11 from gory things like a login prompt on a black screen. They just call in and connect, and their logins are in the dialog boxes in windows, which is then passed via the abstraction layers to and through the OS and hardware. Trying to get a login prompt from an NT system by just calling via modem on a terminal screen will not work. I have not heard of anything that lets one do this from UNIX to NT, only from NT or Windows to UNIX. Has anyone done this out there? Primary reasons -- TCP/IP is new to that world (sold as a feature!); and logins and passwords are handled via windows (usually dialog boxes) and passed within applications and/or the OS using API calls. See the MS resource kits and/or the API specifications for more. bab ---------- > From: Chuck Gibson > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: BSD and NT rass > Date: Friday, June 06, 1997 3:36 AM > > Why can't I get BSD to connect to the internet when connecting to a NT 4 > server > running rass.
