The PPPSmartAgent is a Java-based diagnostic tool for monitoring
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) negotiations across PortMaster(R)
products running ComOS(R) 3.8 or later. PPPSmartAgent 1.0b6 is now
available for open beta to any Lucent customer at no charge.

The PPPSmartAgent was designed with the following goals:

* Detects and explains common problems with PPP negotiations.
* Presents possible solutions when a PPP negotiation fails.
* Diagnoses PPP negotiations on single or multiple PortMaster
products.
* Translates PPP hexadecimal debug output from the PortMaster into
human-readable form, based on PPP-related RFCs 1661, 1877, 1990,
and 1994.
* Is portable across operating systems.

Here's how to get the PPPSmartAgent off of the ftp site:
