-If you want to NXHost over PPP, Simply execute the following 7 lines
-after the ppp connection has been brought up (these are simply the
-lines from the rc.net script that signal the nmserver that it should
-check for new interfaces. Note that the kill command does not kill the
-nmserver. Rather, it sends the "USR2" signal to the nmserver.)
-
-#!/bin/sh
-# Let the nmserver know the fruits of our network configuration endeavor.
-pid=`ps cax | egrep nmserver | awk '{print $1;}'`
-if [ -n "$pid" ]; then
- echo "Reinitializing nmserver's network portion"
- /bin/kill -USR2 $pid
-fi
-
-Note 1: You have to executed the lines under "sh". I suggest you
-save them in a file and type "/bin/sh file".
-
-Note 2: I haven't actually tried this (I don't have another NeXT to
-test it on), but I figured out out reading the rc scripts. Please let
-me know the result if you try it.

-The only way to get -NXHost to work over PPP is to have an IP address
-assigned to your Ethernet port, and have a route to that address
-reachable over the PPP.
-
-When you try to -NXHost, it uses UDP, and for some reason the UDP
-protocol decides to use the Ethernet's IP address for outgoing
-packets, rather than using the PPP's IP address.
-
-You'll also have similar problems trying to get talk to work over
-PPP. Unless there is a route to your Ethernet's IP address, it isn't
-going to work.
