In BSD systems u can give the PPP traffic to a tcp server listening on some
port
The line in inetd.conf
PPP stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/PPP ppp -direct tcp-server
Now here tcp-server block is mentioned in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file
tcp_server:
set ifadddr <ipaddress> <ipaddress -range> mask
enable proxy
accept dns
BSD Systems Supports PPP over TCP and PPP over UDP. If a device name is
specified as
host:port[/tcp|udp], ppp will open a TCP or UDP connection for
transport
ing data rather than using a conventional serial device. UDP
connections
force ppp into synchronous mode. In this case , PPP is done as a user
process with the help of the
tunnel device driver (tun).
Now i want to achieve the same using linux system
so what are the neccessary changes to be made in the configuration file ???
regards,
Lakshmi

PPP is a layer-2 protocol. You can't directly make a PPP
server listen on a TCP port. But it is possible to tunnel
PPP connections over a IP network. Take a look at the PPTP
RFC (RFC 2637) and related projects:
http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net
http://poptop.sourceforge.net
Hope this helps.
Ravi.
