Hi
I am trying to connect to tpg with my redhat 7.2, but I cannot get on using pppd. I am running pppd from the command line with the scripts which follow. Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong. I cannot work out what is needed after the second "ser Access Verification" from the server, anyone know. I know I have to add to the /etc/ppp-chat-isp a assword line. But I will do that once I have the second "ser Access Verification" working. Anyone have a /etc/ppp-chat-isp script they use for tpg and want to share it with me, it would save a great deal of pain!
I use TPG dial up only occasionally (being one of their ADSL customers), and I do the PAP method of not waiting for the Username: prompts and just heading for PAP mode.
Also, I tend to hand-roll my own connection scripts and not bother with options files all that much. YMMV.
So, my scripts look like this:
-- start ppp-connect-tpg------ #!/bin/sh
route del default
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 115200 \ noauth nocrtscts defaultroute \ lock ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote \ modem nodetach user XXXUSERNAMEXXX \ connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /root/bin/ppp-chat-tpg' -- end ppp-connect-tpg -----------
-- start ppp-chat-tpg ------------ ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NO DIALTONE" ABORT "ERROR" ABORT "NO ANSWER" ABORT "BUSY" ABORT "Username/Password Incorrect" "" "at" OK "atz" OK "atdt62819900" CONNECT -- end ppp-chat-tpg --------------
(sorry, that's the TPG canberra phone number in the above script, the last one I used ...)
-- start /etc/ppp/options ----------- lock -- end /etc/ppp/options -------------
Then the password is in my /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file:
"XXXUSERNAMEXXX" * "XXXPASSWORDXXX"
-- Del
