Advantages: Can be
configured using simple setup page inside Arachne. You will not have to
leave Arachne user-friendly graphical enviroment when using EtherPPP. You
can use external TELNET and FTP easily.
Disadvantages: It requires at least 550 kB of conventional DOS memory before running Arachne,
it will not redial when the connection is lost, it cannot be loaded high,
it refuses to work on certain systems and it
cannot be used once Klos PPP is installed.

Klos PPP is shareware utility from Klos Technologies, inc.
Advantages: It requires
less conventional DOS memory, it redials when the connection is lost and
can be easily configured using PPPMENU utility.
Resident portions (LSL.COM, PPP.EXE and IPSTUB.EXE) can be loaded
to high memory (if you are advanced DOS user, try to edit file ARACHNE.BAT to do this).
Disadvantages:
you will not be able to use external TELNET and FTP without configuring
esoteric configuration file CONFIG.TEL, the EtherPPP program will
be overwritten, Klos PPP will be loaded each time you will use Arachne,
it cannot be used under Windows and the system may become unstable.

Not yet implemented. OpenDOS will be shipped together with resident PPP
dialer and TCP/IP stack. Arachne will be aware about this dial-up solution
in future.
