[En-Nut-Discussion] PPP deamon / routing

[Harald Kipp]

Hi Ole,

PPP server functionality is definitely one of the most
wanted major enhancements. As far as I know, no code
exists and the task isn't trivial.

I assume, that the missing parts in the PPP stack are
not difficult to implement. But I got nebulous ideas
only of what might be required to

  1. Configure dial-in accounts
  2. Listening to incoming calls
  3. Mixing dial-in and dial-out

May be we should exclude part 3 first, which seems to
be most complicated. (At least Windows NT never got that
working reliably and needed a reboot from time to time.
But what's Windows NT, anyway. :-))

Harald
