currently i am located in india.kerala.trivandrum I have set up a dial in using mgetty, enabled pppd, and am planning to go ahead with a dial up printshop setup. I have an hp 4l and a hp 695CCi, with me which i have hooked on to a 486/12 mb running slackware 3.2 -- no x, and have checked it with my own machines and some friends. it is giving good results. I have created a bash script which creates the reg file for win95 which will install the dialup config and the authentication is machinename-username-password. the accounting is one thing which i could not figure out, ie the no of pages printed by each user. I have managed to send the interactive output to the root logged terminal. ie when mgetty accepts a connection, the transaction is reported verbose (on the tty1 terminal if root is logged there and) is logged on to a file in /tmp. what i wanted to do is to invoke an application (say ie or netscape) as soon as the client connects and point it default to a site in my server. is this possible by any scripting or should i use the internet connection manager given with IIS 4 (well that would be too difficult since i have already started the service). which is the best choice perl or php for messaging ? or can i achieve average using SSI alone ? I have a configured dns and dhcpd so the client machines can connect to my service using urls and samba is being used for printer sharing. -----Original Message----- From: Sudhir Gandotra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: DigitelNet Systems <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, November 18, 1999 4:16 PM Subject: Re: >> DigitelNet Systems wrote: >> >> The Interactive BBS is available round-the-clock at 91-11-5613991, >> 91-11-5613993, and 91-11-5613994 at speeds upto 56 kbps. >> The SMTP and POP3 servers are 10.2.2.1 >> >> The primary and secondary server setting for the dialing person are >> 10.2.2.1 >> >> One has to get a login name and password first by contacting us >> (phone, >> e-mail, etc.).
