More of an appletalk question than a netatalk question, but...

I'm tying to get my Linux server (kernel 2.2.2) to work with Rob
Newberry's atalkppp package.

http://www.eats.com/linux_atalk/atalk_ppp.html

I'm running pppd 2.3.5 with his patches, and the log looks promising:

Apr 17 16:05:06 focus pppd[517]: user geoff logged in
Apr 17 16:05:06 focus modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Apr 17 16:05:06 focus modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
Apr 17 16:05:06 focus modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
Apr 17 16:05:06 focus pppd[517]: ATCP: configured for proxy AARP on
iface eth0
Apr 17 16:05:07 focus pppd[517]: ATCP: obtained proxy AARP (net = 6410,
our node = 200, proxy node = 113)
Apr 17 16:05:07 focus pppd[517]: ATCP: added AT_ADDRESS option (1), len
= 6, 6410.200
Apr 17 16:05:07 focus pppd[517]: ATCP: added AT_ROUTER_PROTOCOL option
(2), len = 4, value = 1
Apr 17 16:05:07 focus pppd[517]: ATCP: added AT_DEFAULT_ROUTER option
(8), len = 6, 6410.200
Apr 17 16:05:07 focus pppd[517]: ATCP: added AT_COMPLETE option (9), len
= 2 (no data)

but nothing is available in the Chooser.

Part of the problem is that the code seems to refer to startup scripts
called atup and atdown
, but I don't have such scripts, and am not sure how to construct them.

I've sent e-mail to the author of patches but haven't gotten a
response. I was wondering
whether anyone has this sucessfully working.

Thanks.
