I'm running RH 6.1 and finally have diald working where if I go to my
terminal and attempt to telnet to a site the modem will start up and
connect successfully. I'm networked with two Windows machines that
I have as IP 192.168.2.3, and 192.168.2.4 (with my Linux box eth0 as
192.168.2.1). The Windows machines have my linux box IP as their
gateway, and I have IP MASQ set up on my side of things (in the past
I would dial up with 'ifup ppp0' and the masquerading would work
wonderfully, the guys on the Windows machines could use the internet as
if they were connected directly). The one problem I am having is that
if the modem is currently offline and one of the guys tries to telnet
somewhere diald will not fire up the modem and connect. I'm guessing
that there may be some type of routing problem here where diald doesn't
see these packets coming from the windows machines, or it thinks it
should ignore them. Any suggestions on this one?
My other question is about sending signals to diald once it is running.
I read in the man page diald-control that I should be able to send
signals like SIGTERM, etc. to diald when it is running. My question is
simple, how do I go about sending these signals (please forgive me if
this is a dumb question but I'm still fairly new to the Linux
environment)?
Thanks for any help that you can offer on either one or both of these
questions.
Regards,
Eric Macauley
