1. How to establish a PPP connection over direct cable from W2K to Linux ?

I'm trying to establish a PPP connection between a W2K PC to a Linux
RedHat 7.1 box over direct cable (null modem) conenction.

On the W2K PC I've created a null modem and dial-up client connection
using this null modem port.

On the Linux box I'm running pppd on the serial port.

I've connected the two PCs with a null modem cable and set both to
38400 speed.

Now, the PC is dialing (sending ATE1) to the Linux server. The Linux
opens a ppp session and respond with LCP Config-Request messages.
The problem is that the W2K client does not responds to the LCP
packets, and after some retransmitions and a timeout, the pppd gives
up.

It seems like the W2K does not launch ppp on its side. It probabley
expects a reply from the other side.
I tried to run chat on the Linux, but I do not know what does the W2K
client expects in order to start ppp.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance,
Roy
