Thanks Gilles, That did the trick my Speedtouch is now working fine and I have a good working connection. I do have one other question, I'm not an experienced UNIX/Linux user but it strikes me that calling pppd from root exposes potential security issues?. Can you recommend a good firewall and virus protection package?. Thanks.

[speedtouch] Re: Modem_Run Ver 1.2
Hi Mark! How about switching the 'a' and 'f' switches in the modem_run-call, like: modem_run -v 1 -t 90 -n 4 -a /home/mhuggins/bin/firmware.ZZZLP1.eni -f /home/mhuggins/bin/boot.ZZZLP2.eni instead of your: modem_run -v 1 -t 90 -n 4 -f /home/mhuggins/bin/firmware.ZZZLP1.eni -a /home/mhuggins/bin/boot.ZZZLP2.eni Doesn't the help tell you that?

There is an alternate solution to atmarp whose princip is to use a modified br2684ctl wich support routed_IP. You may look at http://adsl4linux.no-ip.org/linux/pulsar_linux_howto I don't know if in this way it will be possible to support a dhcp client. But the reluctance from the dhcp client to work at IP level should stay intact. If you manage the driver to behave like an ATM interface, what special interest is it to use pppoa3 instead of the speedtch module? :-) I only know the difference may be when bonding 2 modems. Would it be not more interesting from the user point of view to develop parts wich are not supported in both drivers like : - modulation (G-dtm, G-lite, ANSI T)choice and display during use, - display FAST_PATH or interleaved, - display line signal levels. This is just my two euro-cents. Gilles Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[speedtouch] Re: RFC 2684 support in pppoa3
Forgot to say that it works only for Linux based systems because of the tun/tap device requirements. If this patch proves to be useful, it will be ported on BSDs supporting a tun device. -- Edouard Gomez Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[speedtouch] RFC 2684 support in pppoa3
Hey, I'm trying hard to include support for Classical IPoATM support in pppoa3. I've stealen^Wborrowed code from the eci driver to include more encapsulations from rfc2684. However i'm still far from connecting the modem through pppoa3. So i post here the patch url in order to allow more people trying to find the way to use pppoa3 and establish a classical ipoatm connection (free.fr uses that) The patch: http://ed.gomez.free.fr/vrac/encap-framework.diff The new interesting option: -r (see pppoa3 --help for a list of supported encapsulations) Limitations: The first two modes aren't implemented right, as they should be pty slaves for ppp daemon, and they're using a tap device at the moment. I wonder if a tun device could do the trick for these modes. What i've obversed: When running pppoa3 this way for free.fr connection: pppoa3 -vpi 8 -vci 36 -v 2 -r whatever_protocol I do see some network traffic, but tcpdump doesn't recognize the protocol. I tried every type of encapsulation mode, then launching a dhcp client over the interface did not work (as it's the case for the ethernet bridge freebox modem). That doesn't surprises me, as the DHCP requests are usually carried by ethernet frames, so maybe their DHCP server doesn't respond when using ATM. So i wonder if it's possible to connect with dhcp with the help of these new encapsulations. Or if i still need to follow this page advises: http://mon.adsl.chez.free.fr/modemdegroupe/spedtoucheusb/config.html And in that case, how do i set up atmarpd+pppoa3 (or is this possible). -- Edouard Gomez Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
