Hello all, I finally got my serial connection to my from my linux box to my
laptop to work (if anyone would like to know how, let me know). Everything
works fine with my win 3.1 laptop running an old version of trumpet winsock.
With that version I can select the manual login which will let me skip the
dialing modem part and then just authenticate with my linux box. Everything
works fine with that thing, and I think I got the routing right too, I will
explain about that later. The problem that I have now is with my win95 OSR1
laptop when I try to use dial-up networking to authenticate with my linux
box. Since there is no modem connected to my laptop, dial-up networking
give me the error that it can't access my modem and then dies. I have the
interface on my linux box that I use to connect the laptop is ppp1 (ppp0 is
my dial-up connection to my ISP). I know that win95 needs to think its
access a modem so in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp1 file I am
trying to fake out the laptop to think its chatting with the modem and not
my linux box. Take a look:
'AT' 'AT'
'' 'OK'
'ATDT9720302' 'ATDT9720302'
'' 'CONNECT 115200'
My laptop first sends AT over and my linux box receives that and sends back
the AT and a carriage return and then an OK. After that I don't know what
my laptop is going to send over so I can't put what the modem would respond
with in my chat-ppp1 file.
I know this is a very painful way to do this, but there is no option to have
the dial-up networking just use com1 and no modem.
Does anyone have any other ideas on different ways or point me in a
direction to get this to work with my win95 laptop?
Here is my routing. I have the ttyS1 interface named ppp1 (so I can just do
ifup ppp1 instead of the whole pppd ..... command), and the ppp1 has an IP
of 192.168.1.20 and my laptop has the IP of 192.168.1.21. So I did:
route add -host 192.168.1.21 gw 192.168.1.20
route add -host 192.168.1.20 dev ppp1
I don't know if the last route command was needed, but I just did it anyway.
If anyone has any ideas or criticism for me, let me know. Thanks!
