PPtP protocol for OS/2 version 1.00

To install the PPtP protocol 

Installation:
XF86sup.sys is a driver, so you need a line
DEVICE=...\XF82SUP.SYS
in your config.sys

You should have also downloade the EMX runtime from my homepage
(or hobbes). If you have not done this, do so.
(home.wanadoo.nl/~rwklein). To install EMX, read documentation
in emxrt.zip (very easy).

In the %ETC%-directory you need two files
chap.sct:
* * <your password>

and ppp.cfg:
name <your userid>
mru  1400
defaultroute

Unfortunately the XF-Driver cannot deal with packetsize lager than
1400 (or 1500) bytes. It will block, if a packet is larger than that.
You can specify the MRU size in the PPP.CFG file, but not the MTU
size. So, after starting the pptp-Programm, you have to setup the MTU
explicitly.

Programm start:
You need pptp.exe, pppd.exe and callmgr.exe (sp) in the same directory.

# Start pptp
"pptp 10.0.0.138"   # this is the address of my "modem"
# Wait until connection is established, then set the MTU
"ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1400"


So the two biggest problem with this protocol problem are.

The change is very big it will not work on a Warp 4 system with fixpak 13
or higher. This also covers WSeB, Convience Pack and eCS (eComStation).

NAT does work (Network Adress Translation). Meaning its not very easy 
to share your connection with other users.
