|
>There are an almost infinite number of ways in which a PPP server can be
|
|
set up. In order to connect to your ISP (or corporate PPP server to access
|
|
your intranet), you will need to obtain information on how the PPP
|
|
server operates.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Because you are using Linux, you may have some difficulty with some ISP
|
|
help desks (and work site based PPP intranet servers) which know only
|
|
about MS Windows clients.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>However, a rapidly growing number of ISPs use Linux to provide their
|
|
service - and Linux is also penetrating the corporate environment as
|
|
well, so you may be lucky if you do strike problems.</P

>Section <A

|
|
to which you are going to connect - and how to find out the information
|
|
you need to know.</P
