I seem to be in another bind, and I am turing to all you guru's for help.
I have the following IP set up.
My IP: 206.9.159.17 netmask 255.255.255.240
I am trying to set up incoming ppp using /sbin/ppp - direct I want my
incoming callers (windows and mac users) to dynamically be assigned a ppp
address from 206.9.159.18 - 206.9.159.30
So far no luck. The modems connect, and logon, but the ppp just excanges
a few packets and gives up. niether win95 nor ppp gives any meaningfull
explanation as to why it's failing. if someone has a good sample of
ppp.conf (and the logon script to call it) I would appreciate seeing it.)
thanks.
Oh, a second question, on my incoming lines, after the modems connect,
there is no login prompt, untill I hit enter, is there a way to tell
getty to send the login prompt as soon as Carrier Dectect comes high?
