Hello Sanjeev, I missed your originial instructions for the pppd command and instead went by your recent mail that said start pppd, and missed Venky's message as well...
Tried pppd term/0 [ i typed zero ] call tataindicom pppd: command line; unrecognized option 'term/0' pppd version 2.4.0b1 Usage ...etc. Tried it with privileges escalated to root with the same result ( Just to check if the etc folder looks alright, the ls command for /etc/ppp shows chap-secrets myisp-chat.tmpl options.ttya.tmpl resolv.conf connect-errors options options.ttyb tataindicom.chat ip-down options.term.0 pap-secrets ) When I earler untarred the ppp.tar file in /etc/ppp, all these files were under etc/ppp/ppp ( a ppp subfolder within the /etc/ppp folder. Now I have corrected this. Hope the corrections that I have carried out to make all the above files show up under /etc/ppp is not wrong ) Sivasubramanian Muthusamy On 12/2/08, Sanjeev <sanjeev.bagewadi at sun.com> wrote: > > Shiva, > > On Mon, Dec 01, 2008 at 08:42:08PM +0530, Sivasubramanian Muthusamy wrote: > > Hello Sanjeev > > > > After pppd, it still did not work > > > > Could it be because the untar process created a ppp folder within > > /etc/ppp ?
