Hi all,
Total newbie here. I'm using RH5.2
I've managed to get online manually by establishing a ppp session in
minicom, and then issuing the command "pppd /dev/modem...."
Now I want to automate the process. I found the ppp-on, on-dialer, &
off scripts and copied them to /etc/ppp and modified them as necessary.
I think I understand things to this point. But the ppp-* files are just
scripts. Where's the executable (like a *.bat in DOS). The ppp-howto
and the newsgroup archives imply that all that's needed is to create the
files, put them where you can access them, and run by entering ppp-on.
All I get is "commnand not found". What am I missing?
Also, the scripts have no provision for minicom (or any other
dialer/terminal program) as far as I can see. Just what is the process
for automating logon/logoff? Again, the howto and archives were no help
to me.
Thanks,
Tom
