I`m using external TA (TAS400E) on serial port.

Does it mean that I don have to put "multilink" option in my
/etc/ppp/options ? I put some AT (ATB41) command to init string, and my
modem after ATI command said that it is in MLPPP mode.

Do I need to change mrru in ppp deamon configuration ? I remove "noendpoint"
option from my configuration file and I got this:

Mar 31 08:59:03 main pppd[5292]: using channel 4
Mar 31 08:59:03 main pppd[5292]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0>
<auth pap> <magic 0x9f0fb930> <mrru 1500> <endpoint
[MAC:00:01:03:33:13:49]>]
Mar 31 08:59:03 main pppd[5292]: rcvd [LCP ConfRej id=0x1 <mrru 1500>
<endpoint [MAC:00:01:03:33:13:49]>]

I wonder if you can tell me why MAC address is bad idea for endpoint
discriminator, and what should I put thete instead.

Perhaps this will help you, my mgetty_log
