/etc/ppp.options_out is used by the 'pon' command and by init.d. /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX is read by pppd when it is called with ttyXX as an argument. It usually is not needed. > I presume that one is to either just edit options_out, which is used > directly by /etc/init.d/ppp for the startup pppd options,... Yes. > ...or, change init.d/ppp to instead use /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX (XX > changed appropriately) and set the options there. No. You don't need to mess with /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX files unless you run pppd on several different ports and want to use different options on each. > But, the /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX file(s) are in a more verbose format, with > comments, multiple lines, etc.. which is not a valid format for use by pppd > as used in init.d/ppp. The format is quite valid for a pppd option file. Pppd ignores newlines and accepts comments (in files, not on the command line). > ? Is the options.ttyXX file just documentation, on how to create one line > options_out like files? No, it is an example of how to create a ttyXX file. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
