My /etc/rc.d/rc.local contains: modprobe ppp_generic modprobe ppp_synctty modprobe n_hdlc modem_run -e 1 -m -f /windows/D/Linux/adsl/alcaudsl.sys pppd call adsl
It opens the connection. I also have made the script /usr/bin/adslstart containing the following: /usr/sbin/pppd call adsl /sbin/ifconfig and in the script /usr/bin/adslstop I put: /usr/bin/killall pppoa3 pppd To make them work from the non-root terminal window I must however issue them like this: su -c "/usr/bin/adslstart" and su -c "/usr/bin/adslstop" In both cases, my root password is asked because I am dealing with pppd? Is it a good idea to exit the terminal window after giving the command to start? Although it is a terminal window in which I am a normal user, it might still cause a danger problem? Ed By the way: I have informed my provider (XS4ALL in the Netherlands) that the patch for modem_run and pppoa3 is there. It may interest them since they have a Linux support page. > > >> ---------- >> From: christine noot-huyghe[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >> Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2002 18:45:17 >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Subject: [speedtouch] Re: st330 + T.
