Not that I don't love starting my PPP connection manually with minicom, but I was hoping to configure the automated scripts.
I read the PPP HOW-TO, and think I have them set up ok, but I can't figure out how to activate them. What command do I use to get the script to fire up my modem and do its stuff? One other thing, I don't understand the last part of the HOW-TO about starting PPP at the server end (which I have to do). >From http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO-15.html I quote: >In my case, my PPP server uses the standard Linux Bash prompt > _________________________________________________________________ > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] hartr]$ > _________________________________________________________________ > >and requires that I type > _________________________________________________________________ > >ppp > _________________________________________________________________ > >to start up PPP on the server. > >It is a good idea to allow for a bit of error recovery here, so in my >case I use > _________________________________________________________________ > > hartr--hartr ppp > _________________________________________________________________ My PPP server randomly presents me with one of following prompts: access-1> access-2> access-3> access-4> I don't understand how to translate the author's example to my server, and since I don't know how to run the script in the first place, I can't experiment.
