Where exactly do those options go? Putting the line demand idle 600 holdoff 5 along with a dummy set of IP addresses into my /etc/ppp/peers/provider file never got my modem to dial. I tried ping, traceroute, telnet and connecting to a website with lynx - all with no success. Dialing manually works just fine - as long as the demand line is not in there - so I know that part of it works. The system is recently (3 or 4 days ago, IIRC) upgraded to potato and kernel 2.2.12 with ppp support in the kernel - not a module - with ppp version 2.3.7
My /etc/ppp/peers/provider file: xanadu:/etc/ppp/peers# cat provider # This file was generated by pppconfig. You can edit the following lines # but please do not delete lines or the change the comments or you will # confuse pppconfig. noauth #pppconfig_noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider" #pppconfig_connect debug #pppconfig_debug /dev/ttyS0 #pppconfig_dev 115200 #pppconfig_speed defaultroute #pppconfig_route noipdefault #pppconfig_ipdefault user ELN/werner1 #pppconfig_user # End of pppconfig controlled lines. You can add lines below here without # confusing pppconfig. xanadu:/etc/ppp/peers# Does the demand line have to go on a particular line? I'm wanting to get this working, as the box in question is going to become the gateway for the house. Thanks -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?"
