I prefer to use the terms calling and called. Such that your statement would be.
"the calling device places a call to the called device, the called device receives the call, the called device calls the call initiating (calling) device back". Maybe that will help? -----Original Message----- From: Carl Timm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 10:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: confusion on ppp auth chap callin/ppp auth pap [7:48325] When using PPP callin, it occurs on the receiving device. Conceptually think of it this way, the calling device places a call, the receiving device receives the call, the calling device calls the initiating device back. Hope this helps.
