Configuring PPP mode

Users who are logged into the terminal server in terminal mode can invoke an asynchronous
PPP session by using the PPP command to initiate PPP mode. Or, even if users do not have
access to the command line, they can begin an asynchronous PPP session from an application
such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer. For example, if a user initiates a session
from Windows 95, which has a resident TCP/IP stack, the asynchronous PPP session can begin
immediately, without the user entering the terminal-server interface. The following parameters
in Ethernet > Mod Config > TServ Options configure PPP mode:

receive a packet first.)
