Obviously, you need to configure the client also differently. The server and client also need to agree on how to encapsulate the PPP packets. (For example, you don't need to include framing bits in an encapsulated PPP packet). Instead of setting this up in an arbitrary way, you could use the server and client that are based on PPTP RFC. (For all I know, the 'TCP-over-PPP' feature of BSD's ppp server may be an implementation of this RFC). -Ravi. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
