Using relayed PPPoA
To use relayed PPPoA, a third party PPTP client must be used on the computer. The
PPTP client software will in most cases be provided by the Service Provider or might
be embedded in your operating system.
Via the PPTP client, you will be able to create PPTP session entities, representing all
the connection parameters, just like creating Dial-Up icons with the Dial-Up
Networking application of Microsoft.
All you need is your user name and password for your account; although
sometimes also a Service Name, and/or Access Concentrator is required. Check
with the Service Provider which parameters are required.
For further details on how to fill in these parameters and use additional
functionality, see
“8.1.1 Using the Windows XP Embedded PPP Client” on page 72 .
Also, consult the documentation delivered with the PPTP client software or follow
the instructions of your Service Provider.
The PPTP client must comply with RFC 2637.
