1. trouble with ppp connection over null-modem cable

I have partially succeeded in connecting a PowerPC and a Linux box with
a crossover cable using PPP. However I am not able to receive files from
the server.
I have started pppd on Linux with this command:

# pppd -detach crtscts 128.0.0.0:128.0.0.1 /dev/ttyS1 38400 &

It seems to work when I launch a FreePPP connection on the Macintosh
since I can read the IP adresses in the "FreePPP Information" window.

Besides, when I type the "netstat -r" command, I get something like
this:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window
irtt Iface
128.0.0.1       *               255.255.255.255  UH     1500 0
0 ppp0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0        U      3584 0
0 lo

Though, when I ping the Mac from the shell, it always return something
like "n packets transmitted", "0 packets received" and "100% packet
loss".

Once, I also surprisingly had the ping working, though the telnet and
http protocol from the Mac were still not working.

Another strange thing is that I can open a FreePPP session from the Mac
whithout having to fill the "user name" and "password" sections.

I wonder whether the problem comes from a misconfiguration in Linux, the
Mac or the null-modem cable ?

Any hint or help would be of a great help,

Thanks
