=09I sent a message earlier today and resolved the problems this
evening.  Please ignore the previous question and while I am at it, in case
anyone else wanted to know, my solution, i am posting it.  My particular
system is an A3000, 25Mhz, ECS, 2Meg Fast, 16 Meg Static Column ZIPs, 4
Megs on a RAM Expansion Board.  The system receives mail and news via UUCP
dialup to a host (uustar.starnet.net) via MFCIII port /dev/ttyA1, pppd on
MFCIII port /dev/ttyA0, with USERS dialing in on the multiport serial card
ports /dev/ttym1 and /dev/ttym2 (Yep i redesigned the /dev/MAKEDEV file to=
=20
create tty0[1-7] for dialout, ttym[1-7] for dialin).

NOTE: I manually logged into my ISP as i had down years ago with AmiTCP to
get the information on where to start and stop parsing for the local and
remote host information.  I used script to capture the information and cu
to access the modem.  I ended the modem usign the ~. key sequence.  Script
will create a file called 'typescript'.  You can visually inspect this
file to see what the last thing sent from your provider is before the IP
information is sent.  The final line in my chat-script ('beginning'=09'')=

probably isn't required but included because that is what I am using...=20

Best for last...  Simply type:

% pppd

from your command line prompt and away we go...  To shutdown pppd, i use
'ps -ax' to get the PID for pppd and send it a HUP via 'kill -1 (pppd
pid)'.  This required NO changes to my local IP setup with the exception of
adding the /etc/resolv.conf file and it's contents.  If someone has a
better way of doing this business, please let me know.  I hate hacking to
get a solution but i do realize that sometimes that works but it is not
always the best solution.

and allow me to run X windows.  The following is what I am using to make
