LsPPP
(ver 1.0)
Abandoned Freeware


LadSoft's LsPPP is a small Point-to-Point Protocol PC/TCP packet driver. By 
default LSppp loads as a class one ethernet driver and handles all aspects of 
the connection from dialing onward. Optionally, an external dialer may be 
used to dial an ISP prior to running LSppp; it will detect the carrier and go 
immediately into internet communications setup. LSPPP may also be used as a 
standard PPP driver in the style of DOSPPPD (which comes with Arachne).

LSppp is capable of auto-configuring WATTCP through the bootp mechanism and 
will do so automatically. However, for this to work properly LSppp may have 
to be supplied with name server information. When possible LSPPP will 
automatically get this information from the ISP, however the configuration 
steps required to do this are an optional part of the protocol and may not be 
supported by some ISPs.

LSppp now fully supports configuration files in addition to loading parameters 
from the environment or command line. Configuration options include user name 
and password, number to dial, nameserver information, and various options to 
set up a communications port to use or customize the timeout mechanisms.

The current version does not have a lot of backwards compatibility for old 
versions of the protocols. If you have problems running it use the undocumented 
/z switch and send the resulting LSPPP.LOG file to the author for analysis.

NOTE: See the file "example.txt" for instructions on how to setup a batchfile
that will gather the IP information from the ISP for a dynamic PPP connection.
