Re: [Trinux-talk] using serial modem

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Hi Hamad,

Right now serial support and ppp is not included in the Trinux kernel.  In
the past I have been hesistant to include dialup support for a number of
reasons:

1) ppp configuration/setup is notoriously difficult for beginners (I would
get to many questions about it)

2) As a way of filtering out the script kiddies, I didn't want there to be
an easy way for average home users with a modem t

3) The majority of the tools (the sniffers and network monitors) are not
all that useful on point-to-point links.

-mdf

Thanks for using the list :)
