Sorry for the off-topic post, but I sense that someone here knows the answer. Feel free top reply via email only.
I am setting up dialup ppp for employees, so we're using old stuff - a junk 486, an Equinox card from a defunct BBS, and 8 Prac PM288MT modems. I decided to use Linux rather than BSDI so I'd have a clue as how to set up the modems. To my amazement, I can dialout from each modem, and I can dialin to each modem and perform a generic login (no ppp). I was able to get Win95 to dialin and login as well with DUN ... *BUT*, I cannot then access hosts external to our network! In other words, I can access www.midco.net, but not www.debian.org (the dial server is tesla.midco.net). I can't imagine that this is a routing problem since I *can* access external servers from the dial server itself, although my router knowledge is slight. I'd guess it's some proxyarp weirdness? I'm not going to post config files here and such since I've burned enough bandwidth. If anyone has an idea or a helpful URL, or doesn't mind getting some email about this, I'd appreciate it very much.
