Yep, I use my 2100 connected with my NT server using RAS all the time.
Works a treat. Can surf the web and download using PPP no trouble.
I haven't been able to get it to work with my XP Pro machine though with
the RAS on that, all though NCU works fine on my XP machine at 56000
without any slowdown programs etc. etc.

The PPP connection seems pretty much standard. My 2100 connects to the
server and it issues it with an IP from a range I have set using DHCP.
Hope this sheds some light.
