I prefer pppd, you have to recompile your kernel with
pseudo-device ppp 1
On condishen that 206.171.181.1 is also the IP of your provider (the remote IP):
you need two files, /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/chat.theworks
root:/root# cat /etc/ppp/options
/dev/cuaa0
115200
lock
connect "chat -f /etc/ppp/chat.theworks"
crtscts
modem
domain theworks.com
noipdefault
passive
:206.171.181.1
defaultroute
this is: your modem is connected to cuaa0 (COM1) with 115200 baud (man pppd(1))
root:/root# cat /etc/ppp/chat.theworks
ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NO ANSWER" "" ATZ OK ATD<number> \
CONNECT "" ogin: <your-login> ssword: <your-password>
Note: I don't know wheather the backslash is ok to cut lines, write in in
only one line!
remove <number> with your providers login-number, <your-login> with Pjdole
and <your-password> with your password for example (ask your provider!).
in /etc/host.conf use hosts before bind
root:/root# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain theworks.com
nameserver 206.171.181.1
I think that's all ...
