Hi,

In /etc/ppp/options.cua3, I have:

209.172.9.130:209.172.9.152
(209.172.9.130=IP of   my Linux box that I ve transformed as a ppp
server):(209.172.9.152 is the Dns entry for my dial up Line).
Starting to get it...
I understood that as I have no Dns setted on my system , I could pick
whatever IP I want and assign it to my dial up line (PPP server and
mgetty-1.1.9) 

I) But, how to set the Dns entry for my dial up line (209.172.9.152)
???What is the file where to set it and what to put in that file??

II) Is that correct to go in /etc/hosts and and add following entry:

209.172.9.152   ttyS1

III) Should I giev to the users that are calling into my machine, that IP
assigned to my dial up line. If it's the case, How should they set that IP
in their settings?? (Say, they have Linux boxes and win 95 also..).

Thanks so much
