Very Computer

can i set up pppd to allow me to manually enter the login ?

i have a secure-id setup that changes the password every 20s or so..
some of you may be familiar w/ this.   i need to manually log in.   i
don't want to have to run minicom, etc.. type util..and then use pppd to
take over.

any ideas ?  also for pppd -auto ?

suggestions for ip masquerading / forwarding ??

Have a look at the latest version of user ppp at

  http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html

It has examples of tcl programs that'll popup a window requesting the
authentication info.

No such thing.  Do you mean ``ppp -auto'' ?

The -alias switch.
