multiple PPP
Hi Debians, I am running w95 at home , and recently I tried to configure multiple ppp connection from that machine to different Linux boxes in different domains. As I understand there is no chance to configure network parameters in w95 depending on connection (Am I right?). Is there any way to assign hostname, DNS server from linux side? TIA, Eugene Sevinian CRD, YerPhI, 375036, Armenia URL: http://crdlx5.yerphi.am/prs/sevinian.html Phone: 374-2-344873

As I understand there is no chance to configure network parameters in w95 depending on connection (Am I right?). Actually, you can. But of course it's better to set this up automagically. Is there any way to assign hostname, DNS server from linux side? hostname no. IP address, DNS servers (two), WINS servers (two) yes. You set these as pppd options. The IP address will be set with the local IP:remote IP option, DNS with 'ms-dns X.X.X.X', and WINS with 'ms-wins X.X.X.X'. Had you read the pppd man page you would have discovered this. -- Jens B.

I didn't see the messages before this, so maybe it's already been answered, but... Put all your chatscripts in /etc/chatscripts. Put all your option files in /etc/ppp/peers. Each option file should include an -f /etc/chatscripts/my-chatscript option that points to the the appropriate chatscript. Now you can say pppd call name-of-peers-file. Then, symlink /etc/ppp/peers/provider to your most frequently-used peerscript. Now you can type pon and it will automatically run pppd call provider. Both the pppd call ... and pon/poff commands can be run by members of the dip group as well as root. This is in contrast to any other invocation of pppd, which requires root privilege. Then, of course, there's the PAP/CHAP problem. If you have to use this, I would hardlink /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets together, so you don't have to remember which secret goes where this week. I've only dealt with the case where one ISP used PAP/CHAP and the other didn't, so I don't know how well ppp does if both ISPs use it. *** In regards to the first question, if you mean, How does Linux handle multiple simultaneous PPP connections? (say if you have two modems, or modem plus Ethernet card, to connect to multiple networks, for instance, one being a private network and the other your ISP), it uses the routing table (shown by the route command), which says which range of IP addresses should go through which link (=interface). Only one link should have the default route 0.0.0.0, which is for everything else. ** MICHAEL SCOTT ORR [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ** 1405 NE 56th Street, Seattle, WA 98105 USA * English * ** Tel: +1 (206) 522-9627, fax: 328-6209 *Russki * ** Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Esperanto * * (Insert silly quote here) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Hello,
another solution that works here fine is the following one: I copied the
pon-script under a slightly different name to a bin directory and changed
the name of the dialer script in the pppd line.
It generates a complete chat script for each number and doesn't handle
the dial strings to chat on the command line. Probably there are some
trap commands missing.
