Howto NTWS4 dialup to AIX 4.x ?

Post by Brian Richardso » Sat, 28 Aug 1999 04:00:00



Hello.  I'd like to use my NT pc at home to dialup an
AIX machine at work.  I'd like to be able to use NT RAS
tools to make the connection; then use telnet, ws_ftp32,
etc. for interaction, file transfer, etc.

First question, can this be done using an AIX serial port
for dialin w/o setting up a server on the AIX side ?  What and how
do I need to configure my AIX port and NT machine in
order to make this happen ?

Thanks in advance.

Brian

You need to set up PPP on your AIX. You then can use dailup networking
on your NT box to dail in and connect.
Use smit to set up your ppp.
