Purpose
Use PPPRNCON to configure Point-to-Point Protocol Remote Node Service
(PPPRNS) options. You can use this utility by loading NIASCFG and

PPPTRACE
Purpose
The PPPTRACE utility enables you to debug PPP data link problems.
PPPTRACE fully decodes and displays PPP protocol exchanges. You can also
examine network protocol data that flows through the PPP link in a partially
decoded format.
Because each captured frame is time-stamped to an accuracy of one-tenth of
a second, PPPTRACE can also provide valuable timing information.
