Guest 3vilc Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) Hi all, using mdk10.1official I am using a lucent modem although its not this that is proving a problem. I have the kernel modules compiled and working correctly, the problem comes that the only program I have that will connect is KPPP, and I use GNome, thus on a slower computer it takes a while to load such a simple program as I believe it needs to load some KDE libs first. There must be a faster way, without the need to go through the old method of chatscripts at creating connect/disconnect scripts. Although i did try modifying the scripts I found installed to no avail. The mandrake connection tool wont work as it detects it as an unsupported modem and doesnt seem to provide a means to setup a connection manually. The Lucent serial module creates its own modem device entry as /dev/ttyLT0, although I have it set up to link to /dev/modem on boot for compatibilty with KPPP (took long enough to find the right place in the rc scripts to put the command as udev destroys the link on boot :) Is there a simpler program to use that isnt so resource hungry, or can somebody point me to the scripts and config files for an pppon/pppoff style connection. This would also save me a lot of disk space on a machine which is very lacking in it, as I only have the kde packages installed to be able to use KPPP otherwise i dont need them Thanks in advance Clive M. ------------- Linux:- In a world without fences, who needs Gates..

Leo Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) I use kppp however wvdial may be what you are after as an alternative. I have set up a ppp-on style connection for my slackware system an will post the scripts when I get back home tonight. Leo /etc/ppp/options # General configuration options for PPPD: lock defaultroute noipdefault modem /dev/ttyS0 115200 crtscts # Uncomment the line below for more verbose error reporting: debug # If you have a default route already, pppd may require the other side # to authenticate itself, which most ISPs will not do. To work around this, # uncomment the line below. Note that this may have negative side effects # on system security if you allow PPP dialins. See the docs in /usr/doc/ppp* # for more information. noauth usepeerdns passive asyncmap 0 name "[login name]" /etc/ppp/pppscript TIMEOUT 60 ABORT ERROR ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NO DIALTONE" "" "AT&FH0" OK "atdt[ISP Phone number]" TIMEOUT 75 CONNECT does this help?
