I've a configuration problem with dp-4.0. Yes, I have studied the
ppp-howto, the FAQ (in the dp package), and the dplist-archive.
But some questions are left:

The system: Sun SPARCclassic running Sunos-4.1.4
The dialup PPP software: dp-4.0

The terminal server serves multiple modems, assigning static
IP addresses to each of them. All modems are reachable via a
common phone number. So I have to use dynamic address asignment
at the local end.

Q: /etc/dp/hostnames

dp0 ??? <terminal-server-address>
^ I want to use dynamic address asignment, what do I write here?

Q: /etc/dp/conf

IF=dp0
MODEMS=zyxel
PHONE=<terminal-server-common-phone>
LOGIN_SCRIPT=ppp-login-ts
LOGIN_ARGS=xxx,yyy
ACCESS=toll

What about PPP_ARGS? PPP_ARGS=dynamic,:<terminal-server-address>
^ syntax?

Q: /etc/hosts

anything to put in?

Q: How to determine the local IP address (assigned by the terminalserver)
in the POST_AUX script?

I have:

/etc/dp/routes:
route add default <terminal-server-address> 1

starting:
/etc/dpctl -lcs

I'd appreciate very much if you could pass along some usefull
information.

Thanks.

A valid hostname. Re-use the one you've got on le0 if you like...

PPP_ARGS=dynamic,0.0.0.0:0.0.0.0

I'm new to PPP. Can I have dynamic IP address for the remote host
as well? How should I write my /etc/dp/hostnames file in that
case?
