I have successfully achieved the ppp-on-demand dialing configuration without
any help from Howto or FAQ.
Now I 'd like to share with you with pleasure.
Keep in mind these steps and attentions:
1.Get a latest version of PPP package (at least 2.3.x).
2.Follow the instructions in README.linux to install it.
3.The key points:
(1) When make config
answer "support PPP ..." as modules (M)
(2) After "make install" of PPP package and reboot the system
do:
/usr/src/linux/make modules
/usr/src/linux/make modules_install
(3)Then do:
modprobe slhc
modprobe ppp
modprobe bsd_comp
4.At /etc/ppp, in options,
add noipdefault and defaultroute and demand
like "pppd demand noipdefault defaultroute ..."
5.Don't add any default route in routing table. Let the pppd do.
6.It works like this:
The pppd will dial out only when you ping out or send data out.
I hope these will be helpful to you.
Try again.
Good Luck!
