Hi!
At last I got the PPP 2.2 from ftp.cs.orst.edu after several painful trying
connections.
However it is difficult for me to unarchive the downloaded file and even
read the instructions.
Could I can get the more specific courseway to install this PPP2.2 in white
NeXT station.
(cf.>> I have 586,60MHz machine with 16MB RAM, 1GB PCI SCSI HDD, AHA2942 PCI
SCSI adapter, 14400BPS USRobotics Sporster Faxmodem connected to COM1: , 1MB
Mach32 VRAM, etc.)

Million thanks,
