Hi,
Thanks for your valuable suggestions. However before i go further
I wish to narrate what i did so that u can diagnose fault easilty.
Step 1
I added following lines
**in /etc/inittab
S0:45:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 /dev/ttyS0
**in /etc/ppp/options
-detach
**my /etc/ppp/options/options.ttyS0
192.168.1.21:192.168.1.24
**my /etc/mgetty+sendfax files
a. login.config
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth +pap logon kdebug 7 debug
** mgetty configuration file
# set the global debug level to "4" (default from policy.h)
debug 4
# set the local fax station id
fax-id 49 89 xxxxxxxx
# access the modem(s) with 38400 bps
#speed 38400
speed 115200
# use these options to make the /dev/tty-device owned by "uucp.uucp"
# and mode "rw-rw-r--" (0664). *LEADING ZERO NEEDED!*
#port-owner uucp
#port-group uucp
#port-mode 0664
# use these options to make incoming faxes owned by "root.uucp"
# and mode "rw-r-----" (0640). *LEADING ZERO NEEDED!*
#fax-owner root
#fax-group uucp
#fax-mode 0640
# ----- port specific section -----
#
# Here you can put things that are valid only for one line, not the others
#
# Zoom V.FX 28.8, connected to ttyS0: don't do fax, less logging
#
port ttyS0
# debug 3
# data-only y
**my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 file
DEVICE="ppp0"
ONBOOT="yes"
USERCTL="yes"
MODEMPORT="/dev/ttyS0"
LINESPEED="115200"
PERSIST="yes"
DEFABORT="yes"
DEBUG="yes"
INITSTRING="ATZX1"
DEFROUTE="yes"
HARDFLOWCTL="yes"
ESCAPECHARS="no"
PPPOPTIONS=""
PAPNAME=""
REMIP=""
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
IPADDR=""
MRU=""
MTU=""
DISCONNECTTIMEOUT=""
RETRYTIMEOUT="5"
BOOTPROTO="none"
This is all Kindly let me know what else I have to do to get ppp dial in
server functional.
Thanks!
