How do I setup PPP?

How do I setup PPP?

[steve]

I just added this section to the faq.

First, apply the changes at ftp://ftp.cs.york.ac.uk/pub/plan9/bod/ppp.bod These
add -9 (enable IL/IP compression) and -m (set netmask) options to pppclient,
and fix a few bugs. Assuming you will use /dev/eia1, login to the ppp server as
follows:

 1. % telco -s 38400 /dev/eia1
 2. % con -r -l telco!967-1111
 3. login and startup ppp on the server
 4. use "control \" to escape back to the >>> prompt in con, and type
        !onppp
 to link pppclient to the remote server.

 onppp is the following rc script:

#!/bin/rc
{sleep 5; echo add 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 128.100.8.4 >'#P/iproute' }&
exec aux/pppclient -i 128.100.8.19 -p 128.100.8.4 $*

 5. To shut down, use
        % kill pppclient | rc
    and disconnect in con.
