Subject: [SLUG] ppp help
>Hi,
>I found a guide to setting up ppp under linux. Here is my situation:
>I have a 56K Netcomm Roadster. Netcomm say there are no linux drivers for
it
>but it can work under the OS with an initialisation string found on the
>site.
>I followed the guide, which I can't find the link but have as a text file
on
>a hard drive at work. I follow its instructions, moving a 3 files to a
>certain directory, then setting up a 'ppp-on' file with the appropriate
>phone number, password, modem speed, com port etc. The guidethen says
>'Believe it or not, run ppp-* (I forget what it was called) and you'll dial
>into your ISP'.
>The problem is, there is no mention of where I should put the modem init
>string. When I run the script to dial in, the terminal ready LED on the
>modem flashes on and off slowly, but doesn't even go 'off the hook'.
>To make matters more confusing, linuxconf provides a way of setting up ppp,
>but as it is my first time, I had even less success with this.
>Can anyone offer any advice or a straight forward guide to setting ppp up,
>preferably without using linuxconf?
>Thanks for your time,
>Alex
