I have managed to make this technique work in OS X*.
*: But only OS X 10.4 (haven't tested lower). In 10.5, I'm still in the process of working on figuring out how to revise the command so it works correctly. For 10.4 and the LCII with a USB FTDI RS232 adapter, I type:
In 10.5, running this command in a separate Terminal window is a good idea:
During a session of monitoring the output, I get some issues in 10.5 which make it not work. I don't have 10.6 or higher so I can't speak for those.
I use MacPPP 2.0.1 in System 6 and 7.0.1. System 7.0 and 7.1 have a most abhorable bug where the MacPPP INIT can't start because of "insufficient memory". I tried 2.1.1SD (can't find 2.0.1cm4, but probably won't fix it) and 2.2.0a and all had the same exact problem. Basically this is the equivalent of shipping a car to consumers with no windows on it.
The proper command for Linux is also something I'm working on. The only real digest worthwhile is some pages which are over a decade old and pertain to kernel 2.0 and 2.2.
