I hope this question is relevant to this group but I feel certain users of
multiple diald will have addressed it previously.
I have a Redhat 5.1 system at work succesfully working with an internal
USR V Anything modem using diald to connect to our ISP on demand. The same
system also has an uninteruptable power supply communicating on the second
tty.
We now have a requirement to set up another modem and copy of diald to set
up a ppp link to our head office server on demand.
- how best to add a 3rd. serial port - is there an issue with available
IRQ's ??
- are there serial port boards ( for use with an external modem), or
internal modem types that might be better ? ( I have seen a serial
card - brief description 16C650 - Hi-IRQ 3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,15;
Hi-COM 1 to 8 that is cheap ).
- are there any instructions for installing a second copy of diald that
might be followed ? ( I obviously can't just run rpm -i diald and
expect it to not copy over my existing setup !).
Many thanks in advance - I'm afraid I'm a newbie trying to setup something
that I suspect might even challenge a more experienced person a little !
