Hello, I seems to be having a problem getting my pppd and mgetty to cooperate.
I am using pppd 2.3.7 in conjunction with mgetty 1.1.19 on my Slackware 3.4
Linux 2.0.36 box.
Currently I am attemting to test things two ways:
1). As a standalone system that merely answers the incoming call with an
acer 33.6
voice/data/fax modem on ttyS1 as well as a USR 28.8 external on ttyS0. I
have over come modem initialization errors in the chat sequence from
the mgetty.config
so now the modems init and respawn correctly and do answer the incoming call.
I have AUTO_PPP configed but the peers seem to fail negotiating a set of
protocols.
I used win95 dial-up networking as well as an old trumpet winsock dialer.
I have also tried using a ppp shell script that gets called from the dialer
script.
All this seems to get called well enough but ppp doesn't establish a
connections.
I assume this is because my box does not have a gateway or calls to
ifconfig and route?? Anyway I can set this up dynamically so that the
route and ifconfig set themselves up?
2). I have tried having ttyS0 connect to my isp (the 28.8 external) and
tried having the above mentioned ppp shell script setup the defaultroute as
my ip address as given me by my isp (it is dynamic). But still, when I
dial-in to my linuxbox the peers do not establish a connection. I am
obviously doing something wrong and I am not inclined to give up.
I would appreciate any help in these matters as I am working on setting up
a 16 port cyclades along with a dual channel ISDN line but need the
confidence of having at least these minor issues tested first everything
else on my box works
:)
