Hi. Does anyone know how to write a custom chat script for linuxconf's dialout module? I don't use a commercial ISP but instead dial into a terminal server at which I have to enter a few commands before I even see a login: prompt. I then use SLiRP to emulate the PPP connection. The standard dialout script seems to assume that the first thing you'll see upon calling in are the login: and password: prompts. I tried changing those to the expected prompts from the terminal server, which works, but then dialout won't let me send a whole string of commands in place of my login and password. There's an entry in the "PPP and SLIP" dialogue for a custom chat script, but I couldn't figure out how it got used. I looked through the dialout module source, and it looks like all that custom chat script entry does is append a string to the regular chat script, which I don't think will help me. (My C skills are pretty weak, though, so please correct me if I'm wrong here.) I'm running a RedHat 5.2 system. The redhatppp module works for me, since I can enter an arbitrary list of expect/send pairs. I don't know how I can do that with the dialout module. I would really like to use the dialout module, though, because I really like the multiple configuration feature of that module. I would like to be able to have several different PPP configurations (e.g., my wife also uses the computer and makes a PPP connection to a different machine). I think this will all work if I can enter a set of custom expect/send pairs in the dialout module. Does anyone here have any experience with this? Thanks very much. -- Chad Engelbracht Steward Observatory [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ 85721 FAX: (520) 621-9555 VOICE: (520) 626-9184 --- You are currently subscribed to linuxconf as: [[email protected]] To unsubscribe, forward this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
