The results are identical to when I used the man ppp setup (eg netstat -nr on both client & server machines shows a new tun interface but the IPs I specified in the ppp.conf files are not included) There doesn't appear to be any weirdness in ppp.log .... its as if the connection is established but someone forgot to tell PPP it was supposed to do some IP routing. I looked at the manual connection example, but apparently that relates strictly to modems ("term" doesn't seem to have any relevance to a nullmodem setup) . As I've said previously, I can't see any value in the handbook "serial terminal" system .... this machine is to be co-hosted & run various services rather than be a glorified workstation. I'm starting ppp with ppp direct-server & ppp direct-client. In both cases I get the following Working in interactive mode Using interface : tunN ppp ON > Adding the routes manually with ifconfig doesn't help .... starting to wonder if the (new) nullmodem cable is OK. I've checked the ports with cu & with modems and no problems there. What else could be causing problems ??
