Thanks a lot Bernhard for the help! Now I am finished with my
installation (after a few days of hard work, huh!). Here's my
documentation should anyone in the list be interested:
PPP Server installation:
1. download mgetty1.1.9 and compile/install the binary
2. edit the /etc/inittab file
S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0
3. restart the init process (init q)
4. create the /etc/ppp/options file
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.255.0
proxyarp
lock
x.x.x.x:y.y.y.y
crtscts
modem
/dev/ttyS0 115200
5. create /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file
* * "" *
6. edit the mgetty login.config file
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login kdebug 7 debug proxyarp
**** the proxyarp allows the remote user to set the server as its
gateway.
7. edit the mgetty mgetty.config file to contain the ff lines:
port ttyS0
data-only y
direct n
term vt100
debug 4
speed 115200
NOTE: make sure that the ff modifications were done to the policy.h file
during the mgetty compilation:
a) #define DEVICE_GROUP "modem"
*** the "modem" group shld be defined in the /etc/group file
b) #define DEFAULT_PORTSPEED 115200
c) #define MODEM_INIT_STRING "ATE1V1Q0&S0&D2&C1S0=0S13=1"
edit the makefile generated when u invoked "./configure":
a) CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -pipe -DAUTO_PPP
FOR THE LINUX CLIENT SIDE:
1. Install ppp
2. /etc/ppp/options file
asyncmap 0
lock
modem
crtscts
lcp-max-configure 30
3. /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file
* * "" *
4. /etc/ppp/pppon (my script to dial)
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd kdebug 25 lock modem crtscts /dev/ttyS2 115200 defaultroute
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v ABORT "NO CARRIER" "" at OK atdt1234567 CONNECT "" ogin:
"^Umyaccount" word: "\qmypasswd" \~ ""'
It has been very helpful, though, to have included the ff lines in the
syslog.conf file:
daemon.*;kern.* /var/log/ppp
it showed me where i used to get stuck.
