I used the example in the "More cool things than Ever..." redbook to set up 
a PPP link. It also was surprisingly easy. As I have a very old modem for 
the ECS line I shoved another modem in there for dial in and used the ECS 
Line cable and phone line in my "dial in" modem. On those occasions I want 
to use the ECS line, I just switch over the cables and vary the PP line off 
and vary the ECS one on. Vice Versa to return to normal operating state.

The only trick I dounf was adding a STRTCTPTP command to my startup program 
to make sure the PPP line was available after I started TCP. None of the 
check boxes in Oops Navigator seemed to provide this effect.

Hope this helps

Cheers
