To make PPP connections, right?

Under Windows there are all kinds of wierd dialup remote access things
like PCanywhere and whatever the Windows Terminal stuff is about. Under
Linux, you just dialup to make a PPP connection, then your traffic goes
over TCP/IP.

There's no such thing as "PCAnywhere for Linux" because it's not
necessary. That funcionality is part of the basic design of the OS.
That's what I meant.
