What’s New?
Notice: I will not spend too much time be updating the SLiRP portions of this reference. Real PPP accounts are so cheap even I decided to get one!
I have created this reference to help spare others from jumping through all the configuration hoops that I had to go through setting up first TIA and then SLiRP on my Netcom shell account. This information has been compiled from FAQs (see reference links), documentation, usenet posts, trial and error and from my experience as a systems engineer. All of the configuration examples are taken from my working files. Standard Disclaimer.Use at your own risk!
