[9fans] ppp modem connection

["John P. Cummings" <jpc@krazykat.phys.rpi.edu>]

hi-

i'm having problems setting up a ppp connection.  i'm using a xircom
56k pc card modem on my thinkpad t22.  it didn't seem to be recognized
at first, so i went ahead as if i knew what i was doing and added
"XM5600" from it's idstr to the list of modem in pcmciamodem.c.  it
seems to work, the modem is recognized, and i can dial out.  i think
my problems are related to my ignorance of network configuration in
plan9.  here is some random output from my attempts, if i can send
anything else, please let me know.


term% ip/ppp -Pufb 115200 -p /dev/eia1
