What is a PPP account?
A PPP account is a TCP/IP networking type of account. When you call our modems with a capital P in front of your username, our Terminal Server begins a PPP (point to point protocol) session with your computer. This means that your computer gets a unique IP number, and that traffic destined for your IP number is successfully routed to your machine. When you connect to Cyberstation with a PPP account, it means that your computer is now another ‘host’ or ‘peer’ on the internet – able to interact with any other internet computer which gives you permission. Unlike a BBS, shell, or terminal type connection, the PPP connection is NETWORK connection – your computer is not talking directly to another computer, it is just given a network address and routing is begun.
A PPP account is a TCP/IP networking account. When you dial into SEI Data/Venus’s modems, our Server begins a PPP (point-to-point protocol) session with your computer. This means that your computer gets a IP number depending upon which modem you access, and that traffic destined for your IP number is successfully routed to your machine.
