Bob,
A really useful and easy setup routine for us comparitive newbies to the
world of Linux.
But.......... a couple of queries....
Your refer a couple of times to /etc/ppp/resolv.cnf, is this a typo? I found
resolc.cnf in /etc.... or do you intend for a ?second? copy in /etc/ppp ?
Working thru your tutorial, I got to generating and testing /etc/ppp/chat-isp.
problem here is that my ISP uses PAP but appears to expect the login data
to be streamed in almost immediately without any handshake or prompting
messages. (Certainly nothing is observed when watching with simple console.)
The consequence is that the daemon times out.
How does one deal with this situation?
After making the changes you suggest in /etc/ppp/options and generating
/etc/ppp/peers/isp I proceeded to test using: 'pppd call isp', the dialer
certainly
worked but because there's no login the 'ping' of course cannot be carried
out.
I have fiddled about in chat-isp in the area of the username and password
lines,
changing the prompts to blanks etc but without any success.
Any help hints etc would be greatly appreciated else I have to continue using
this 'other opsys' for my netting.... <grin>
Cheers
John
