PPP = Point to Point Protocol, it is not only used in dailup connections.
Not only do you have to use PPP, but you will probably want to patch it
for MPPE and all that good microsoft stuff.

Hi all,

I'm a little confused and hope someone can clear this up for me (even
sending privately is fine).
I have a Linux box at work connected with an ETH2 to the internet via a
router and my Linux box at home is connectd (or will be in 2 weeks) to an
ADSL connection to the internet which both will be via an ETHernet adapter.

Will I still be needing PPPD as I don't really need to dial do I????

I am currently using `vpnd` which creates a SL0 connection and works fine
but I prefer to use pptp because it should work fine for windows clients
where vpnd doesn't (not that I could find)...

thanks and confused,
George Vieira
