Yet another chapter in the PPP nightmare. Thnaks to all who helped me out before... version 2.1
is a godsend!
Currently, here is the problem (we're talking PPP server now, as user ppp works like a champ
thanks to Paul Flores who suggested to Rostyslav Cisyk to take the ifconfig_tun0 line out of
/etc/sysconfig):
I made a ppp user and a ppplogin script per the man pages. What confused me is that man ppp
suggested that I use /usr/bin/ppplogin as a the default shell for the user after creating it.
And, as you may suspect, it choked. So I made this this default .login in /home/ppp and that
seems to work. However, trumpet winsock does not receive it's ip address, although ifconfig
show the appropriate configuration. Secondly, if I drop carrier mid-call the modem goes into a
complete state of confusion and locks up the device.
Questions:
re the lockup problem: I assume that I should be using /dev/ttyd0 (com1) as my device. Does ppp
use tip, and if so, I should configure the default tip* setting in /etc/remote?
re the ip problem: I am focusing on ppp.conf for this solution, but have no clue. I execute ppp
with the following:
#/bin/sh
ppp -auto hostmode
and my ppp.conf looks like:
---------------------------------------------
default:
set device /dev/cua00
set speed 14400
disable lqr
deny lqr
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK\\d
ATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
hostmode:
set timeout 600
set ifaddr 128.181.100.104 128.181.100.105
add 128.181.100.104 255.255.255.0 128.181.100.105
--------------------------------------
(note-- the ip address are ficticious...this lan is not on the internet and am still awaiting my
ISP to come through with the connection).
peace,
Blake
