PPP for IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 Golden
  April 14, 1995

This package provides PPP support for IBM TCP/IP for OS/2.  You must
first install TCP/IP version 2.0, and you must install the latest CSDs,
so that the TCP/IP base is at level UN64092.  Or, you can install this
package on top of the Internet Connection kit that is included with Warp.

This package also contains fixes to SLIP and the TCP/IP stack, so all
users of the Internet Connection kit and TCP/IP 2.0 who use SLIP or PPP
can benefit from this package.  If you obtained an earlier "gamma"
version of this package, you should update with the latest.

If you obtained this package using the Retrieve Software Updates icon of
the IBM Internet Connection, installation is automatic.  If you obtained
it via FTP, you install it using the following steps.  Put the file
PPP.ZIP in your TCPIP subdirectory.  Then switch to that subdirectory and
type

pkunzip2 -o -d ppp.zip

or

unzip -o ppp.zip

Be sure that slip is not running when you unpack this package.

To run PPP, start SLIPPM.  Internet Connection kit users can start this
program using the Dial Other Internet Providers icon in the Internet
Utilities folder, which is inside the Internet Connection folder.  You
can then create an entry for your Internet access providers, using the
Add Entry button.  A notebook of panels will guide you through the
procedure.  You can use SLIPPM to dial Internet providers that use either
SLIP or PPP access.  You should not use SLIPPM to dial Advantis, and in
any case Advantis uses SLIP, not PPP.

This implementation of PPP supports password authentication using
either the PAP or CHAP protocols.  This authentication is transparent
to the user.  Your PAP or CHAP password is entered when you complete
the Add Entry dialog of SLIPPM.

For some Internet providers, it is necessary to have a login script in
addition to the standard PPP or SLIP connection.  The Add Entry dialog of
SLIPPM enables you to enter such a script.  Click on the Login Sequence
box and press F1 to get help on how to create such a script.  In some
cases, you may want to put your script in a separate response file or
REXX command file.  A sample response file (sample.rsp) is provided in
the samples\etc directory, and several sample rexx scripts (annex.cmd,
cybernet.cmd, tdc.cmd) are also provided.

You can also use SLIPPM to dial into your LAN (using either SLIP or PPP),
or to set up your LAN machine so that another machine can dial into it.

Problems and suggestions for improvement should be posted to the
comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip newsgroup.  Unfortunately, the developers
will not be able to respond very often ...  but we will make improvements
based on your input.
