PPP problem, ppp8?!?

2000-09-01 Thread Max Lock

 Hi folks,

 I'm trying to configure pppd version 2.3.11-1.4 as per release 2.2-r0.
I call pppd using the command `pppd -detach /dev/ttyS1 9600' my config
files look like the following

/etc/ppp/options:

 10.1.60.1:10.1.60.2
 asyncmap 
 auth
 lock
 name 1313
 debug

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:

 1313 * 1313 *

/etc/ppp/ip-up:

 #!/bin/sh
/sbin/route add -net 10.1.0.0 10.1.60.2


/var/log/messages:

pppd 2.3.11 started by root, UID 0
Using interface ppp8   --- shouldn't this be ppp0
Connect: ppp8 -- /dev/ttyS1
modprobe: Can't locate module ppp8
ioctl(SIOCSIFMTU): No such device(19)
tcflush failed: Input/output error
Exit.
  
 Has anyone hit this problem before? my ppp support is compiled into
kernel 2.2.17 as a module.

 -Cheers Max

Ignore the PPP-HOWTO and just use pppconfig to configure ppp.  The use
pon/poff to start/stop the service.  Can you really only get 9600 baud?

couldn't get a connection myself using pon/poff and pppconfig. wvdial works
like a breeze, though.
Or rather, I could get a connection, but afterwards nothing (I never got a
response to any request). Any idea what can cause that (my isp uses static
ip, PAP, I have default gateway and 2 DNS servers for it).

 Well I'm talking to a very sophisticated piece of radio gear that has a
control/monitoring system that uses ppp. I'm building a bridge machine
that will forward the packets from the radios, based at remote sites,
over our network back to a central point.

 Using things like pppconfig obfusicates the issue IMHO. :)

Not without more information.  What do you mean by get a connection?
What do you mean by noever got a response to a request?  What do you mean
by request?

Post /etc/chatscripts/provider, /etc/ppp/peers, /etc/pap-secrets (munge
comments), and the output of plog.
