- Yes. Rumor has it that SCO has problems in this arena. You might
- want to either replace the PPP on the SCO boxes with another vendors,
- or run SLIP (if it comes with SLIP), or replace SCO.

- I would guess certain implementations. Personally, I would find it a hassle
- to use dynamic addressing -- since inbound traffic wouldn't know where to
- find you (would they?)
