I have been struggling to figure out how to make ppp initiate negotiation unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with a simple ppp.conf that does a 'set device "!/path/to/some/prog"' that will initiate negotiation? I have a prog that waits for input from stdin and logs any input into a /tmp/logfile, but ppp doesn't seem to be spitting anything out. When I type "dial" at the ppp-prompt the prog is executed but ppp isn't sending it any data.
A simple ppp.conf and command line ppp invocation and any ppp commands at the ppp-prompt would be most helpful. Thanks, --patrick
