I'm using the hamm pppd and diald packages. I've got ppp working fine I can do (as root) pppd call myisp and it connects.
I'm trying to set up diald to do it and it's not working. Diald 1) doesn't seem to realize that pppd is successful in making a connection -- it kills pppd with a "connect script failed" message _after_ pppd has set up the link 2) isn't manipulating my routing tables right. "route" just hangs after it prints column headings. Is there some way to get diald to just start pppd and let _it_ handle setting up routes? Here's /etc/diald/diald.options: #fifo /var/run/diald/diald.fifo device /dev/ttyS2 mode ppp connect "/usr/sbin/pppd call myisp" lock modem crtscts local 192.168.0.1 remote 192.168.0.2 dynamic defaultroute include /etc/diald/standard.filter Will -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://www.cis.udel.edu/~lowe/ | | PGP Public Key: http://www.cis.udel.edu/~lowe/index.html#pgpkey | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | And if you hold on tight to what you think is your thing | | you may find you're missing all the rest ... | | - Dave Matthews, "Best of What's Around" | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
