Example entry for a dedicated serial endpoint

Assume that the following information was entered with the PPP Manager:

 -------------------------------------------------
 Field                      Entry
 -------------------------------------------------
 Tty Line for PPP           /dev/tty1a
 Baud rate for /dev/tty1a   19200
 Local host name            ppp-nile
 Host IP address            132.147.246.77
 Destination name           ppp-tokyo
 Destination IP address     132.147.118.55
 Authentication protocol    PAP
 Authentication timeout     2
 IP address negotiation     No
 Local host ID              tokyo
 Local host password        135zyx
Assume that all other values are defaults. The resulting /etc/ppphosts entry appears as:
   ppp-tokyo:ppp-nile staticdev=/dev/tty1a speed=19200 auth=pap\
   authtmout=2 name=tokyo noipaddr
