It's me again :-) I worked a little bit on this issue (establishing a PPP callback connection) and this is what I've got. Of course, this is a very simple and straightforward solution that is enough for me. It should be made more general, better protected against unexpected errors, etc, but I'm sending it here so that anyone who is interested can try it right now. When I get more time, I'll try to make it more generic and document it in the FAQ or Handbook (if anybody else has done it before :-) ). By the way, I'm using ijppp. It works this way: I want to make a PPP callback connection between these two machines, so that machine A calls machine B, authenticates, and then machine B returns the call to machine A: machine A: IP address of PPP interface: 10.0.25.1. Phone: 555-1111. machine B: IP address of PPP interface: 10.0.26.1. Phone: 555-2222. In machine A, this is my configuration: File /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: ==== default: set device /dev/modem set speed 115200 disable lqr deny lqr pppcb: set ifaddr 10.0.25.1 10.0.26.1 set timeout 450 set afilter 0 permit 0/0 0/0 set ifilter 0 permit 0/0 0/0 set ofilter 0 permit 0/0 0/0 set dfilter 1 permit 0/0 0/0 ==== PPP account: _ACCOUNT_NAME_:*:65000:68::/home/ppp:/home/ppp/retrollamada (Important: I make the PPP user to be in group dialer, as my modem can only be accessed from that group.) callback program (/home/ppp/retrollamada): Comments are in Spanish, but I think it's easy to follow. My modem is on COM2 (/dev/modem is a soft link to /dev/cuaa1). /* * Programa para hacer retrollamada en un acceso a través del módem. * * Escrito por Javier Martín Rueda, mayo de 1997. */ /* Dispositivo del módem. */ #define DISP_MODEM "/dev/modem" #define DISP_TTYMODEM "/dev/ttyd1" /* Número de teléfono al que hay que devolver la llamada. */ #define TELEFONO "5552222" /* Comando que hay que ejecutar tras devolver la llamada. */ #define COMANDO execl("/usr/sbin/ppp", "ppp", "-direct", "pppcb", NULL) #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <termios.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <libutil.h> #include <sys/errno.h> void main(void) { struct termios term_cb, term_orig; FILE *modem; int fd; /* * Hacer que el proceso ignore la detección de portadora, para evitar * que el sistema lo termine automáticamente al colgar para devolver * la llamada. */ if (tcgetattr(0, &term_orig) == -1) { perror("tcgetattr"); exit(1); } term_cb = term_orig; term_cb.c_cflag |= CLOCAL; if (tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &term_cb) == -1) { perror("tcsetattr"); exit(1); } /* * Cuelga el módem, espera unos segundos y devuelve la llamada. * Si no logra conectar de nuevo antes de 120 segundos, sale sin más. */ cfsetospeed(&term_cb, B0); if (tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &term_cb) == -1) { perror("tcsetattr"); exit(1); } close(0); close(1); close(2); sleep(5); if ((modem = fopen(DISP_MODEM, "r+")) == NULL) exit(1); fprintf(modem, "AT\r"); fflush(modem); sleep(2); fprintf(modem, "AT\r"); fflush(modem); sleep(2); fprintf(modem, "ATDT%s\r", TELEFONO); fflush(modem); fclose(modem); signal(SIGALRM, exit); alarm(120); fd = open(DISP_TTYMODEM, O_RDWR, 0); if (fd == -1) exit(1); if (login_tty(fd) == -1) exit(1); COMANDO; } Additionally, you may deny all logins in ttyd1, except this account adding this to /etc/login.access: -:ALL EXCEPT _ACCOUNT_NAME_:ttyd1 In machine B, this is my configuration: File /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: ==== default: set device /dev/modem set speed 115200 disable lqr deny lqr pppcb: set phone 5551111 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sDIAL ABORT ERROR TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ0 OK-AT-OK \\dATM0E0Q0DT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: _ACCOUNT_NAME_ word: _PASSWORD_ TIMEOUT 60 NO\\sCARRIER \"\" RING ATA" set ifaddr 10.0.26.1 10.0.25.1 set timeout 450 set afilter 0 permit 0/0 0/0 set ifilter 0 permit 0/0 0/0 set ofilter 0 permit 0/0 0/0 set dfilter 1 permit 0/0 0/0 ==== I execute the ppp daemon like this: "ppp -auto pppcb". As you can see, when ppp attempts to establish a connection, it will dial machine A, login in the remote ppp account, expect that the call be dropped, wait for an incoming call, and answer. On the other hand, when machine A receives a call, it answers and asks for a login with getty as always. If it is the ppp account, the callback program is executed, which drops the call, calls back (waiting no more that 120 seconds for an answer), and when both modems have connected, executes the ppp daemon in direct mode. I hope this is more or less clear enough, and that I haven't forgotten anything.
