Hello,
I would appreciate some help configuring linux for dial-up. On
Debian (bo) I have created the following files:
options
========
After seeing the new debian book I modified this one slightly. It
contains:
debug
/dev/cua0
19200
modem
crtscts
lock
asyncmap 0
defaultroute
bsdcomp 10,10
mru 296
mtu 296
-detach
user lucas // I believe this is for pap authentication
lcp-echo-interval 15
lcp-echo-failure 4
pap-secrets
============
contains the single line: my_username * my_password
ppp.chatscript
==============
ABORT [....]
"" my modem's init string
"" ATZ
OK ATDT666-6666
CONNECT
ppp.options_out
===============
some redundancy:
defaultroute debug user lucas -detach /dev/cua0 19200 persist
/* ****************************** */
the host.conf file is ok
the hostname file says debian
the hosts file says 127.0.0.1 debian localhost //if i remove debian
//many things malfunction
the resolv.conf file:
=====================
domain somewhere.net
search somemachine.somewhere.net
nameserver ip address of the DNS server
... as far as permissions are concerned, everything belongs to root (until
I get this freakin' thing working ARgh!!).
also I can't test it manually by dialing with minicom and quitting without
resetting because I get a login prompt which I used to be able to use but
has since been made unavailable.
if it is required, I have a nice, fat ppp.log file that maybe someone
knows how to "decrypt."
Could someone tell me what the heck i'm doing wrong or omitting or...it
was working fine for another dialup account but now i messed it up
Thanx-a-million
