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.
