THIS IS THE RESULTS : (I will test it deeper )
1/ download the pack, the URL is :
ftp://zaphod.csci.unt.edu/pub/ppp-2.2-osfpatch1.tgz
2/ uncompress and "untar" it :))
3/ read files README,README.your_operating_system,SETUP and follow
instructions for your_operating_system (for example README.osf)
and build new kernel
4/ My modem use speed 9600 K, a part of my table /etc/gettydefs follows
( you will have to add similar entry, if your /etc/gettydefs
doesn't contain it yet ) :
.
.
.
M2400# B2400 HUPCL CS8 # B2400 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M1200
M4800# B4800 HUPCL CS8 # B4800 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M1200
9600# B9600 HUPCL CS8 # B9600 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M9600
M9600# B9600 HUPCL CS8 # B9600 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M2400
.
.
.
5/ add similar line to inittab
tty00:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/tty00 9600 vt100
then run command init q (see man init)
6/ add new user - you can use command adduser, or insert similar
line into your /etc/passwd file:
ppp:8W9B!I4MnAM:103:15:ppp connection:/usr/users/ppp:/usr/bin/pppstart
7/ The file pppstart can seems like this :
#!/bin/sh
REMOTEIP=193.165.56.2
exec /usr/local/etc/pppd 9600 proxyarp crtscts modem netmask 255.255.255.0 passive :$REMOTEIP
You can modify or change these options as you want. Read the manual
for pppd ( man pppd) !!!
