    Question....

    I have set up my FreeBSD box with mgetty:

    login.config:
    /AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/ppp -direct

    ppp.conf:
    default:
      enable passwdauth
      enable proxy
      set ifaddr 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.100-192.168.0.200
      accept dns
      set dns 65.204.18.242 65.204.18.243

    Plain and simple....
    Plain and simple for a Windows 2000 client that dials into the box,
    connects and works....
    Not so plain and simple for a Windows XP (Xtreme Pig) Prof client that
    dials in, talks to mgetty, but never seems to cause mgetty to invoke ppp.
    When I have a terminal window popup the W2K client gives the mgetty
    login prompt. The WXP client gives cr*p, almost like the communication
    between XP and the modem is not synchronized...

    Any idea's?

    Thanks!
    Jan
