I am installing a cyclom-16Ye card into a 486/120 running FreeBSD
2.1.0. I have tested the card under DOS and it passes all tests and I
have enabled kernel support for cy0. I have created the /dev/ttyc? and
/dev/cuac? files and edited ttys to run getty on them. An example of the
ttys line is:
#cyclades multiport lines
ttyc0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" unknown on
Problem:
I am trying to setup the serial ports to accept ppp dialin calls. I am
using the kernel pppd and had it working on ttyd1. The scripts I am using
are just slightly modified versions of the ones in the Handbook and are
shown below.
When I run the pppserv script the kermit.ans script seems to fail. Only
the RD and SD lights on the modem light up (no AA) and several screens of
what appear to be login prompts flash by, then the screen just locks up
and I don't get a command prompt anymore.
I was wondering if anyone has any scripts that would be suitable for
setting up dialin ppp service using the cyclom card, that you share, or if
you see any obvious errors in my setup. I have checked the archives and
found a number of questions about this subject but few answers seem to
have been posted. I would be happy to post a summary of the alternatives
to setting this up and putting it into the handbook so any explanatory
comments would be especially welcome. Also, if you know of anyone running
FreeBSD and a cyclom-16Ye for dialin ppp support who would share their
setups please let me know.
Cheers
