Hi. MDK has the ability to configure network connection in instalation program. What i have see it can configure DSL, ISDN, modem connection.
In Poland there is *very* popular connection - Ericsson Home Internet Solution (HIS). It uses simple AT terminal connected to COM port. Configuration is very easy /etc/ppp/peers/HIS : lock noauth modem crtscts nodeflate nobsdcomp user refuse remotename his defaultroute /etc/ppp/pap-secrets : refuse his [pass] 217.96.134.160 plus some entries in /etc/resolv.conf To connect: pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 call HIS Thats all. Butt i think no body in Europe has heard about that kind of connection (115.2kbps) so network configuration in MDK installation program is not working with that. Can be that connection added so installation program can properly configure it ? Regards Gniazdowski Mariusz. PS. Of course i can add that my self, butt not to init.d/internet or init.d/network, it is too complicated :/ Now i just add that line pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 call his to init.c/internet in start function butt that is workaround.
