Ok Lawson. Finally got this thing working again. I had to go into expert
mode (I'm better with expert than I am beginner..... and I am a total
newbie here, but then again I hated windows because they do it all for
you).
Anyway.
Here's the script.... gotta retype it on my iMac......
-----------------------
1) I made a copy of the ppp-on script, editted with my info, and placed
it in /etc/ppp/
The standard info (from /etc/ppp/ppp-on):
TELEPHONE=555-1212
ACCOUNT=mylogin
PASSWORD=DUH!!!
LOCAL_IP=207.138.xxx.xxx
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0
then also in the file are these lines:
exec /usr/sbin/pppd debug lock modem crtscts /dev/ttyS0 38400 \
asyncmap 20A0000 escape FF kdebug 0 $LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP \
noipdefault netmask $NETMASK defaultroute connect $DIALER_SCRIPT
2) then chmod'd it.
3) then typed /etc/ppp/ppp-on
bash: /etc/ppp/ppp-on: 207.138.xxx.xxx: command not found
so I changed my static IP to 0.0.0.0 and ran ppp-on again
bash: /etc/ppp/ppp-on: 0.0.0.0: command not found
so I deleted both the Remote and Local IP lines.
returned:
/usr/sin/pppd: invalid netmask value 'defaultroute'
so I deleted "netmask $NETMASK defaultroute" from usr/ppp/ppp-on
Ran it again and nothing happened. As far as I know it could still be
looking for the modem right now.
----------------------------
So that's it. I didn't know how to change the values so I tried
deleteing them.
Do you see anything, other than deleting values, that could be wrong? Or
is that a stupid question?
John
