Hiya all,
I think I'm doing something silly on the setup of dialin PPP. I have
set it up according to the handbook (with the exception of the kermit
scripts to enable auto-a. (The line is only ever used for dial-in,
never Dial out or voice, so the modem is NVRAMmed to auto-answer.)
When I dial in and then start PPP (from a root shell or my own) using
the PPPserver script as supplied in the handbook, all that happens is
that the modem hangs up. Next time I dial in, the line again presents
me with the login prompt as per getty.
I'm confused :)
the following is my ppp/options file :
crtscts # Hardware flow control
netmask 255.255.255.224 # netmask ( not required )
196.3.237.171:196.3.237.172 # ip's of local and remote hosts
# local ip must be different from one
# you assigned to the ethernet ( or
other )
# interface on your machine.
# remote IP is ip address that will be
# assigned to the remote machine
domain netac.co.za # your domain
passive # wait for LCP
ttyd1 # modem line
(the one line word- wrapped )
is there something I'm doig obviously Wrong ?
Thanks
Tony
