I sent the following message last week but have not received a response. If there is a better forum for this question, please let me know. Greetings. I am getting an ISDN line installed next week in my apartment, and while I am proficient in setting up ppp to dial-out using TAs (Motorola BitSurfr Pros). I am unclear, however, on how to handle call-back from the NAD (USRobotics TC Hub). Call Back is a requirement due to the per-minute charges imposed by BellSouth. My original thoughts were to use an expect script to log in with cu first in terminal mode, telnet into my USR boxes, initiate the "dial <location>" command and use the pppd in FreeBSD to provide ppp service but after some thought unless I'm mistaken, that won't give ppp access to the O/S, just to that connection. The other alternative, and this is a procedure a colleage of mine is using with his WinNT box, is to disable DTR on the ISDN modem, log in with PPP, execute a script to disconnect the channel and force call back through the "dial <location>" command in the USR chassis. Is there a better way? We use cistron-radius for authentication but I've never attempted to setup a radius entry call-back before - and am not quite sure even if it will work with the USRs. Also, does anyone have any experience with USR boxes and would it be possible to bond a second channel (preferably through call-back to avoid line charges)? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. George Ellenburg _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
