I have a machine ( pentium75 with no fans at all so I can leave it running all the time ) that I would like to set up as a dial on demand machine for the rest of the boxes on my home network except I'm having a few problems. So I thought I would list the ones here I haven't found answers too in docs or online.
1. I set up my scripts in /etc/ppp/peers/ and /etc/chatscripts the default 'provider' and everything looks correct according to all the documentation I have read. Now when I go to dial my machine never actually uses my modem it just adds two interfaces with ppp0. One with destination 10.112.112.112 and the other with gateway 10.112.112.112. I'm not sure what I have wrong but I just cannot get my modem to dial with pon. ( I installed wvdial and it works, but I need to be able to use diald etc. once I sort this problem out. )
