Hi Peter, first I will admit that PPPMain.InstPPP is sort of a hack. I did put a lot of the original stuff I got just in comments to keep it at hand if perhaps needed it in the future. "Peter Easthope" <peter_easthope@gulfnet.sd64.bc.ca> wrote:

Folk, Here are a few questions. PPPMain.InstPPP does Texts.OpenScanner(S, Oberon.Par.text, Oberon.Par.pos); reads the parameters for the command from this line in Oberon.Text, Device0 = { "PPPMain.InstPPP", "COM1 \silent"} and then uses InInt(i) to read an integer, 4. There are these two lines of code.

(*MRUWant*)InInt(i); INCL(wo.O, NegMRU); wo.MRU:=1500; IF HDLC.debug THEN Debug.String("MRUWant "); Debug Copy/Paste problem. Doesn't make sense really :-( You can see that I copied these lines from below.

Doesn't hurt as it is but I changed it now to: (*MRUWant*) INCL(wo.O, NegMRU); wo.MRU:=1500; IF HDLC.debug THEN Debug.String("MRUWant "); Debug.Int(wo.MRU, 5) END; So it's less confusing.

Hopefully a nice new update of PPP.Tool can appear. I'm thinking of where to put it. Because I don't think it's necessary at the moment to send an update to ETH just for documentation.

es> Another point is that I would like to collect information on problems with PPP on Oberon somewhere. I don't have the urge to take every article concerning PPP from the mailing list and put it somewhere else.

A by-product of the study of PPP is a collection of troubleshooting tips, notes, suggestions and small modifications to the PPP*.Mods. Edgar has first refusal on this material and my ego imagines some of it included in a future release. No problem with that. You can send me your stuff and I can put it on my site as a version under development before sending it to ETH eventually.
