Dear colleagues;
I'm a Free-BSD user for about two years. A few days ago, I set up usr ppp
(iij-ppp) with mgetty+sendfax to make my Free-BSD box a ppp server. At that
time I had a problem to be confused what driver I should use for the
serial lines (COM ports) due to a conflict of the descriptions in "man
ppp" or the document of mgetty with that of the Hand Book of Free-BSD.
In "man ppp" and the document of mgetty, cuaa is indicated to use, but in
the Hand Book, there is an example of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf as
papttyd0:
enable pap
set ifaddr 203.14.100.1 203.14.100.20 255.255.255.255
enable proxy
papttyd1:
enable pap
set ifaddr 203.14.100.1 203.14.100.21 255.255.255.255
enable proxy
which is linked from "Mgetty and AutoPPP" in "15.1.5.3. Receiving incoming
calls with PPP". From this you may misunderstand that you should use ttyd
rather than cuaa. Taking the mechanism of mgetty into account, I think that it
is proper to use cuaa, and in fact I have confirmed that ttyd does not work
well for this case.
So, I think that the above example should be
papcuaa0:
enable pap
set ifaddr 203.14.100.1 203.14.100.20 255.255.255.255
enable proxy

Would you please check this point? Thank you.
