I would like to have an on-demand PPP-link beetween two IP subnets A and B (via modem). The FreeBSD machine sits on the B network. |A network|--|modem|<---POTS--->|modem|--|FreeBSD / B Network| I have configured the ppp-daemon in "-auto" mode to enable on-demand connection from B to A : it works. I have configured mgetty and PPP to enable incomming PPP connections from A to B : it works. When I try to authorize both incoming and outgoing connections through the same modem, it stops working : on-demand outgoing PPP -auto takes hold of the line and mgetty is kept out of the picture (and can't answer the line). 1st question : is there a configuration of mgetty and "ppp -auto" so that they share a single modem ? 2nd question : (if two modems are needed) doesn't the TCP-IP stack get confused with having two interfaces for the connection beetween two networks ? (each with unidirectionnal routes when the line is down) Thanks in advance for your help TfH thierry.herbelot@telspace.alcatel.fr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
