Hi there.
I'm hoping you can help me out as I've spent over two days trying to get
this thing going. No doubt this will be something basic I've missed, but
I've come to my wits end. Basically I'm trying to get a dialin PPP
connection going to my machine. I have a modem on ttyS0 which is always
connected to the internet. I have a second modem on ttyS3 which I want to
use as the dialin modem. mgetty is working fine. Its answering the call,
and detecting the /AutoPPP/ from the windows machine. When it sends the
command to pppd, this is where it seems to be dying. Heres a snippit from
/var/log/mgetty/log_mg.ttyS3
10/14 22:47:29 ##### data dev=ttyS3, pid=1169, caller=none,
conn='28800/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd',
user='/AutoPPP/'

10/14 22:47:30 yS3 cannot turn off soft carrier: I/O error
10/14 22:47:30 yS3 tcgetattr failed: I/O error
10/14 22:47:30 yS3 cannot get TIO: I/O error
As you can see, the mgetty program is detecting the AutoPPP connection, but
the problem arises when pppd is called. This is my line in
/usr/local/etc/mgetty/login.config
/AutoPPP/ - ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login modem crtscts lock
Have you seen this problem before? If theres some docs you can point me to
which will solve this problem without my having to waste your time typing
me an answer, that would be fine. Otherwise, your help would be appreciated.
Cheers
