Hi,
I have checked the various FAQs and MAN pages but no real luck. I am
dialing my ISP usng PPPD / CHAT using a perl script i obtained off my ISP
site.
I want to get the actual connection speed reported preferably to screen but
failing that, a file would do.
I gather i need to put REPORT CONNECT and -r FILE in the script but
whenever i add one or both of these the thing refuses to dial. The TX
light on the modem illiminates but nothing else.
I have Redhat 5, PPP-2.3.3.2 and kernel 2.0.34 if that makes any
difference. The line i am trying to alter is:
command="/usr/sbin/pppd name \"".$NAME."\"".
" -d connect \'/usr/sbin/chat -t 45 -v ABORT BUSY \"\" ATDT".
$PHONE." CONNECT \"\"\' ".$MODEM.
" 115200 noipdefault modem defaultroute crtscts";
I didnt write this script and dont understand much of it. If anyone can
help i'd appreciate it. Its a PERL script btw.
Also, with reference with possibly directing connection speed to screen not
a file, i work with TELNET not in front on the linux box so i assume
/dev/console wont work.
