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
