I was wondering about the same thing, with the difference that I have =
a Macintosh LCII which is the server and a macintosh Performa 5200 as =
the client.
I came as far as that I figured out (together with a hint from =
Nikolai Vladychevski) how to  go about it with 'pppd'. But at this =
point, whatever I try I still get the message peer authhentication =
required but no suitable secrets found.
I looked under /etc/ppp directory, but no peers....
Does anybody know? Is this maybe a small difference between NetBSD =
and OpenBSD (2.2)???

thanks!!!
And happy holidays....!!
