I use kermit to dial-out to the ISP Annex-3 with the following options : # /etc/ppp/options crtscts # enable hardware flow control modem # modem control line passive # wait for LCP packets domain supercom.com.au # put your domain name here 204.14.44.34:204.14.44.14 # put the IP of remote PPP host here # it will be used to route packets via PPP link # if you didn't specified the noipdefault option # change this line to <local_ip>:<remote_ip> defaultroute # put this if you want that PPP server will be your # default router debug Note that since that is a permanent dial-up link, the IP address for my end is static. I used kermit to make the connection and suspend it then start pppd on the right port (/dev/cua00) and the right speed (57600). I can see SD and RD leds flashing over some 5 seconds or more interval for quite a while and then it stops. THen I checked netstat -nr, but no default route being added, and ifconfig ppp0 showed the local:remote addresses are not set proprly. So my questions are : 1) Should defaultroute option set the default route and reflected by netstat -r ? In my case above, does it mean the connection has not been established properly ? 2) Why are ppp0 parameters not set at all ? 3) With debug option, whre should all te debuggin stuff go ? Can't seem to find it anywhere, not even from console. 4) Is there any special setting needed over my ISP Annex 3 end ? Suggestions and advices appreciated via email. Thanks in advance. -- - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au (M.C Wong) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Just an enthusiastic and curious learner of computing technology.
