2 problems:
1. How do I set up the "do not wait for dial tone" feature, so that I can
dial 9 to get an outside line? I need to do this on mdk5.3 and rh6.1 boxes.
I've been setting up various RedHat gateway/firewalls using modems over the
last year or so, some running mandrake 5.3, others running redhat 6.1. Now
some of them need to dial 9 before the provider, and others need to dial 99
before dialing the providers number. I know it can be disabled with custom
Hayes codes to the modem, but I have about 2 dozen different modems and I'm
not about to look up all of their different codes.
2. When I use linuxconf to setup a ppp0, then activate it, it locks up.
Linuxconf of course reports "the process is hung, would you like to kill
it?" So I can't get it going even if I solve number 1 problem above.
remember, this is a console-only box, so I can't quite boot into X and use
red hat's newfangled setup feature. Also, even though I've read every howto
out there (you name it), I would rather setup ppp in 10 seconds through
linuxconf than 2 hours through custom dialup scripts.
Does anyone have a collection of dialup scripts that work out of the box on
rh61, don't lock it up, and can be easily customized?
Also, I have updated to the latest linuxconf and redhat updates to no avail.
Thanks for the help.
