This is what works for me. On the server, I use the normal getty and create a ppp user like: Puser:*:1000:1000:PPP User:/tmp:/usr/local/libexec/ppp-login The ppp-login script looks like this: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/mesg n stty -tostop exec /usr/sbin/pppd proxyarp 192.168.1.1:192.168.1.2 The client dials in using a script that looks like this: #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/bin/chat -v ABORT BUSY "" \ \\d\\dAT\\sE0\\sQ0 OK \\dATS7=60\\sS38=40 OK \ \\dATDT3262964 CONNECT "" ogin: Puser word: Ppasswd' \ /dev/cuaa1 115200 crtscts \ modem lock debug netmask 255.255.255.0 \ noipdefault defaultroute :192.168.1.1 exit 0 I have all my modems set up to be absolutely quiet -- no echo no reporting. Also set up for hardware flow control and reset on carrier loss. There an infinite variety of ways in the login script to do IP assignment -- or create one ppp-login.x script for each port. I know nothing of Win95 and intend keeping it that way, but I assume the "dial up networking" includes a script mechanism. I would suggest using it. Use the terminal for debugging. If you can login normally and get a bunch of garbage with braces in it, your server is working fine. -- Jay On Fri, 2 May 1997, Gary D.
