connecting MS-Win 2000 client to Linux server via ppp null modem

[John Kerr Anderson <jkanders@svsu.edu>]

Has anyone been successful on connecting a MS-Windows 2000 computer to a
Linux server via ppp null modem?  I have consulted the serial lap link
howto and PPP howto.

I keep on getting a message from my Linux computer that the connection is
not 8 bit clean.  I cannot find anyway to change the word size on the
MS-Win computer.  If I type "CLIENT" in the terminal window of the Windows
client the Linux server claims that a PPP connection is made, but ifconfig
says there is no connection.  I never get to a point where authentication
takes place.

Any help would be gladly appreciated!
