Subject:   iijppp ppp - Use of the modem control lines
Message-ID:  <3496678D.41C67EA6@mclink.it>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help

I'm setting up a dialin server, using the user ppp (in 2.2.5-REL).

The port monitor used is the mgetty 1.0.0, to respond in AutoPPP mode 
to LCP config-requests.

The clients connect succesfully, but the problems arise on the server
when the client disconnects, or the modem line drops for whatever
reason:
The ppp process stays up and does not exit like below

434  d0- Ss     0:00.46 /usr/sbin/ppp -direct papttyd0

As a result, the tty lines is kept busy and none is able to connect any
longer, until the ppp process is killed by hand on the server side.

With the pppd implementation, I used to set the "modem" option, which
makes use of the modem control lines.

Does something similar exist for the iijppp, or what is the procedure to
follow?

I would like to use both the tun0,1 devices of my Pc.


Thanks!

  - Marco
