So something like /etc/ppp/options.ttyc0 below? crtscts # Hardware flow control netmask 255.255.255.0 # netmask ( not required ) 206.24.68.15:206.24.68.100 # ip's of local and remote hosts domain ppp.multibyte.com # my domain passive # wait for LCP modem # modem line Would this assign (.100) to the port ttyc0? On the domain part the host name should be ppp? If so, do I need to create canical name of ppp in the DNS? Do I also create /etc/ppp/pppserv.ttyc0, /etc/ppp/pppservdown.ttyc0, /etc/ppp/kermit.ans.ttyc0, and /etc/ppp/kermit.noans.ttyc0 scripts as shown in doc? One for each ttyc? Or just one file each and specify all the ttycX and pppX in each file? Thanks for help.
