[NTLUG:Discuss] PPP server on Red Hat

[Chan Davis]

George,

Thanks for the response.  'Windoze', too funny!  I see you are as much a fan
of MS Gates as I am.  Unfortunately, most of the remote users of this
application are 'Windoze' users.  The application server I have control
over.  So, I of course built it on Linux.

The only part of the Windows configuration I have not done is the open
terminal window.  I will try that.

Thanks, again.
