Or maybe that, yes. It was probably a message by me, so it must be right :) > Please tell me you > meant 4800 baud and not 480 :^D I am so sorry. > Well, I'm patient.

That's why I wrote the console client (this effort has its root in November last year). So, we are making progress and heading toward using OSKit v2, although quite a bit delayed :) And it wil be delayed even further, as I will be on the road soon for the whole of october. We have quite a few people who already compiled and worked a bit on the OSKit version of Mach, maybe I will have a good surprise when I come back, hint, hint ;) > > > # settrans -c /dev/tun0 /hurd/pfinet > > This is not the right way.

I wonder if Neal didn't have it in a README in the um-pppd package, too. Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
