I am trying to get ppp running on a 2.0.5 machine both for demand dial outbound and for inbound connects from our NetBlazer. Let me know if I am completely off base here. I run ppp -auto in rc.local and then also try to get inbound connections to work. Everything outbound works no problem. I realized that since I had the ppp -auto process sitting there waiting that I would need a second tunnel device for the inbound connections. So I now have a kernel with two tunnel devices and I have both devices created. I had the following problems however: Problem: On inbound connections, everything would go OK until ppp started. It would try to open cuaa2 and fail. Solution: I set the device for incoming in my ppp.conf to ttyd2 and that problem went away. Problem: PPP starts up no problem, BUT if I do a "route get myrouter", it has tun0 listed as the tunnel device to use but iijppp is using tun1 (as stated in the ppp.log). In both cases, if I reset the modem, the ppp -auto process will dial back to the router and establish the connection, but this is an ugly way to do things. Please correct me if I am wrong on the following assumptions: 1-I need two tunnel devices to do this 2-I use cuaa2 for outbound and ttyd2 for inbound connections Does anyone have any advice on how to finally get this working properly? I can make my ppp.conf and ppp.linkup as well as some ppp.log files available if necessary. Thanks for any help -Steve
