I have set a PC up as a mail server for my company.
Setup:
* It allows users to connect via Eudora (using the "popper" server)
and send and recieve mail.
* It connects to the ISP by "dial on demand"
user level PPP, with a script "ondemand" in ppp.conf , invoked in
rc.local
with the command line "ppp -auto ondemand"
The "glitch" I'm seeing is that any time a user tries to connect, (or I try
to telnet) to the server in question, it dials out if the connection is down.
I.E. it seems to dial the ISP not only when there's outbound traffic, but also
any time there's traffic on the local link (the ethernet card)
Any suggestions regarding what I might have configured wrong?
If anyone wants to help, I would send the detailed configuration files to
them, rather than clog up the mailing list with the files. :-)
Mike
