PPP getting closer (Was: Re: PPP(d), Phone Home!)

[John M. Mills]

Hello --
I am setting up PPP by telephone from my home Linux to G.I.T.'s
PPP rotor, _almost_ have it working.  Thanks to dsnyder and ZOT, I have
gotten the link extablished, but here I am hung up again.

I am able to set up the ppp link, and to ping the remote host, but am not
able to resolve names or reach other internal (G.I.T.) or external net hosts.
I suspect I am never successfully negotiating a gateway.  Suggestions welcome.

I'm running Linux 1.1.87 and pppd 2.1.2b.  Unless there is some known
problem here, I'ld like to stay with that combo 'til PPP works.  I attach
ping and ppp-log excerpts, and my rc.inte1 and /etc/ppp/options files.

Sorry about the long lines in the attached material, but I wanted to
show it as issued by my box.

Thanks --john mills--
