Bonjouir,
I am a Linux newbie and I reinstalled SuSE8 last Sunday for fun and practice. Installing speedtouch adsl on SuSE8 (the second time) took all of 10 min. Stop giving SuSE8 a bad name and do some research. My ISP is WANADOO because I am in Paris. Here are the basics... # If you have a standard SuSE8 installation, you ***must first*** install: # auto config, build and make from Develop\Tools\Building as well as # gcc from Develop\Languages\C and C++ # # To configure pppd, you'll have to edit 4 files. # 1st file : # # You should have an /etc/ppp/options file, edit it and keep these 4 lines in it (comment all # extra lines with a #) # # ------------------ /etc/ppp/options Beginning ------------- # noauth # usepeerdns # lock # noipdefault # ------------------ /etc/ppp/options End ------------------ # 2nd file # # Create /etc/ppp/peers/adsl : # mkdir /etc/ppp/peers # touch /etc/ppp/peers/adsl # # Copy and paste what follows (without the "---" ;) ) # # -------------------/etc/ppp/peers/adsl Beginning------------ # # This file could be rename but its place is under /etc/ppp/peers # To connect to Internet using this configuration file # pppd call adsl, where "adsl" stands for the name of this file # # # debug # kdebug 1 # noipdefault # defaultroute # pty "/usr/local/sbin/pppoa3 -m 1 -c -vpi 8 -vci 35" # sync # user "your_login_here" # noauth # noaccomp # nopcomp # noccp # novj # holdoff 4 # persist # maxfail 25 # usepeerdns # ------------------/etc/ppp/peers/adsl EOF------------------ # # # -------------------/etc/ppp/chap-secrets Begining-------------- # client server secret IP addresses # "your_login_here" "*" "your_password_here" "*" # -------------------/etc/ppp/chap-secrets End------------------- # # If you don't know what protocol is used by your provider, you can fill in # both files, it won't # hurt # 4th file : # Edit /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules if your system is a bit old) and add the # following lines : alias char-major-108 ppp_generic alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async alias tty-ldisc-13 n_hdlc alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate Some entries are useless, but once again they won't hurt ! # # Download speedtouch-1.1.tar.gz.tar. I use speedtouch-1.1rc2.tar.gz.tar # in this example. # cp -p speedtouch-1.1rc2.tar.gz.tar /usr/local/sbin/speedtouch-1.1rc2.tar.gz.tar # cd /usr/local/sbin/ echo "The current directory is `pwd`" tar -xvzf speedtouch-1.1rc2.tar.gz.tar # cd speedtouch-1.1rc2 # ./configure && make # ./make install # Launching the connection # You'll have to : # # * Load modem's microcode # * Start pppd # cd to the directory # I initialise the modem with the SpeedTouch firmware: alcaudsl.sys # because (I am also using Win2000), the following should work.. # ./modem_run -m -f mgmt.o ./modem_run -m -f alcaudsl.sys # # Launch pppd Type (and pray) : echo "Launching pppd ...." pppd call adsl # # Wait for a few seconds (20) and check if the link is up by typing : sleep 10 # echo "Testing with ifconfig .." ifconfig ppp0 # cd / cd /usr/local/mozilla # echo "The current directory is `pwd`" echo "Start mozilla..." ./mozilla & Ciao James Pearson E mail (mai) : [EMAIL PROTECTED] E mail (bur) : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web page: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/j.pearson/ What you make of your life is up to you.
