Perry) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions,comp.protocols.ppp Subject: PPP on FreeBSD/Morningstar? Date: 19 Aug 1994 18:55:08 -0500 Organization: J. P. and Associates Lines: 38 Message-ID: <333gos$ds@jpunix.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: jpunix.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I'm having trouble getting PPP to run in passive mode under FreeBSD 1.1R against the Morningstar Express router at work. Here's what I did: 1. I set my system up so no getty is present on /dev/tty00. 2. I started pppd using the parms "199.5.159.175:199.5.159.33 passive crtscts" I'm 199.5.159.175 and the router is 199.5.159.33. This causes a pppd process to cam p on the port instead of a getty. 3. I set the router up to call me with the system file specifying my phone number but no login script. I set the parms "199.5.159.33:199.5.159.175 auto up crtscts" on the router and it does dial and connect to my system. 4. Once the connection is made, my system sits here like a dead fish until a SIGHUP is encountered. I have SLIP working flawlessly but I can't seem to get PPP to work unless I dial the router. Since the PPP module under FreeBSD doesn't support auto-dial, this is a somewhat manual process. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Am I missing something? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAgUBLlVGUFOTpEThrthvAQGYLQQAoTk0u7g3KhmZRT/3giCS6c+u4MHh77Jw RI1RwOIXfxREl4hqFm6cluld13+tCtR02HJTBW3J2jbiH8/d400HLzDxBM7pHCwi l1zB2zD2ebk18XizXiPoxC1KEPtcuskRHAM+Ljm74NQ3qEFvIo0y+98QW3neGW5a Glf+wra7r5c= =XYTl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- John A.
