'evening all, I am trying to get two Debian boxes talking to each other via the PSTN. Both boxes have the same users and passwords. This box has mgetty running on ttyS1. I can login to this box from the other one using minicom but I want another user to be able to connect using ppp. I have configured ppp on the other box for user "beryl" using pppconfig.
The file /etc/mgetty/login.conf on this box contains the lines: /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login debug * - - /bin/login @ and the file /etc/ppp/options contains the lines: disconnect "chat -- \d+++\d\c OK ath0 OK" asyncmap 0 auth crtscts lock hide-password modem netmask 255.255.255.0 passive +pap proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx I think both files are in their default state. I have removed the comments for the purposes of this post but not from the actual files. If I log on to the other box as user "beryl" and type $ pon in an xterm, the modem dials out and is answered here but the call is dropped as soon as the "squarking" ceases.

Is there some other file that I should look at or edit? Some of the files seem to be well documented if only I understood what they meant! confused Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
