With the change to ttyS2 and irq 10 I has successful in getting dialtone and
connecting to msn
This worked with:
pon
but not with:
pon connection
When I changed /etc/ppp/pap-secrets so that the default 'provider' matched
what was in 'connection' (actually msn), pon completed the connection to msn
until local hung up. I will work on sending actual text messages to myself
Following Lawson's recommendation, I added setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 10 to
/etc/rcS.d/S40network. There seem to be many rc? files and this one seemed
appropriate
I also tried /etc/ppp/ppp-on, but this generated no dialtone. Here I am
following the text of 'Running Linux'
I need to be able to build a capability to send a single message to a
potentially large list of subscribers. In windows, Outlook Express
apparently enforces a limit of 64. I am thinking along the lines of using
sendmail for this purpose, directing a piece of mail to a file of
subscribers, which is apparently a trivial undertaking for sendmail. I have
been reading O'Reilly's 'sendmail' by Costales and Allman
Suggestions on any of the above would be welcome
Many thanks to all
David
