Howdy,
read the other replies and they are correct - you need to rebuild the
kernel to run kernel ppp (no big deal - just follow the handbook):
However the script given are both for shutting down the pppd connection,
the scripts I use are:
for starting pppd and use chat:
#!/bin/sh
ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep
PID=`ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ "$PID" = "" ]
then
pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDTXXXXXXX CONNECT ""\
Name: XXXXXXXX Password: XXXXXXXXXXXX' \
/dev/cuaa0 115200 :
fi
and to shut down:
#!/bin/sh
pid=`ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep | awk '{print$1;}'`
if [ X${pid} != "X" ] ; then
echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid}
kill -INT ${pid}
fi
These seem to work fine for me and others who have finally figured out the
peculiarities of their machines.
