It allows you to connect Minix to ISPs, other systems with ppp/slip support, or between 2 Minix machines connected to the serial ports. The package contains both protocols drivers, and a couple of patchs needed to have the necessary support. I included some examples for small memory systems like XT machines, so there are some restrictions in that kind of systems. The ppp driver supports header protocol and address compression, PAP authentication, character map and IP negotiation. The slip driver includes header compression. Both drivers include code used for debug, that can be disable at compile time, and various flags to control debugging and compression. There are examples of shell scripts to make automatic login, using the chat program, also provided. I tried to comment all the possible code and scripts, and the documentation also tries to get you all the information to install the drivers. If you have questions, suggestions, and ideas, please let me know. Claudio Tantignone. c_tantignone@newage.com.ar **************************>> ppp-1.0.txt <<*****************************
