Guy and Paul.
Here's a working ppp setup you can use as a guide!
# /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, derived from handbook.txt
default:
set device /dev/cuaa1
set speed 38400
set parity none
disable lqr
deny lqr
# NOTICE!! set dial line is WRAPPED!!!!
# Unwrap to: 'TONE TIMEOUT'
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER ABORT NO\\sDIAL\\sTONE
TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
isp:
set phone 1231234
set login "TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: Pusername word: password"
set timeout 0
set ifaddr 0 0
dial
# end of handbook stuff
# /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
MYADDR:
add 0 0 HISADDR
A bit about the format of these files! (Quote from man ppp)
o Each line contains one command, label or comment.
o A line starting with a `#' character is treated as a comment line.
o A label name has to start in the first column and should be followed
by a colon (:).
o A command line must contain a space or tab in the first column.
This format is vitial! If it's not as stated it will not work!
The login script seems to be the most troublesome so A bit about
the 'set login' line. (script)
The first thing is: How do you invoke ppp on your ISP's system??
As the above samples are, ppp is invoked by the first character of the
username, ie: Pusername
Each ISP does it differently!
I'll *try* and explain this line!
set login "TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: Pusername word: password"
TIMEOUT is set to 10 seconds, Thus it'll wait 10 seconds for each of
the following to become true else fail.
ogin:-\\r-ogin Pusername
wait 10 seconds for the word: ogin:
If not recieved within 10 seconds send a CR and again
wait 10 seconds for the word: ogin:
If not recieved in 10 seconds fail!
If recieved send: Pusername and go on to the next one.
(P = Invoke ppp, username = duh)
word: password
wait 10 seconds for the word: word:
send: password, else fail!
it is CASE SENSITIVE! so if your ISP's login prompts
are not the usual:
Login:
Password:
prompts you need to change the line to match!
An example is:
Login:
PassWord:
Note the capitol W, That will cause the above 'set login' script
to fail! change it to:
set login "TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: Pusername Word: password"
-Enjoy
Gary
