Hi,
After reading the HOW-TO's and man pages, I still have this
nagging question.
How do I set up PPP config files to use one modem for 2 or
more on demand PPP connections as below:
Only one remote machine/route will/should be in use at any one time,
so I shouldn't have conflicts about modem not available.
MAIN OFFICE (PHONES LINES) REMOTE LOCATIONS
+-----------+ +------------+
| FreeBSD |==== [modem] ------------- [modem]==== | FreeBSD #1 |
+-----------+ \ +------------+
192.168.195.104 \ 192.168.5.101
\
\ +------------+
--------- [modem]==== | FreeBSD #2 |
\ +------------+
\ 192.168.7.101
\
\ .. and so on
\ .. and so on ...
Q. How does one associate a phone number with a route ?
ie. if routing 192.168.5.101 through tun0, use
the phone number of 123-4567
if routing 192.168.7.101 through tun0, use
the phone number of 987-6543
Q. Will I have to dedicate one modem for each route to
the other machines instead?
Q. Is anyone else doing this ?
All replies welcomed!
Roger
