Lantronix devices support both. You connect to 2000+n to get TELNET protocol (with the 0xff escapes), and 3000+n for a raw TCP connection. So, for port 1, use this in pppd: socket ip-address:3001 (Most other terminal servers have similar features. For example, the equivalent ranges on Annexes are 5000+n for TELNET and 7000+n for raw TCP.) I would advise the original poster to avoid reverse telnet. It may work with some applications, but it's a frightening bit of hackery that (at least in my experience) often fails in strange ways. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
