/etc/ppp/options on falcon:
local
defaultroute
xonxoff
/dev/ttyd
38400 

/etc/ppp/options on server:
local
xonxoff
/dev/ttyS1
38400
proxyarp
passive
nodetach
192.168.0.1:192.168.0.111 


The server never reboots and the ppp keeps alive with the "passive"
parameter. And if the server would reboot it starts pppd in one of it's
boot scripts. Server is linux.

The proxyarp is only used to simulate that the falcon is on the ethernet
even though it isn't, it make things a little simplier routingwise.

I should probably add "afaik" to all the above as well, I'm no expert.
