Fw: REPOST: Diald routing (Help!)
I too have had difficulty with ppp and diald since upgrading. With the
help of
"Linux The Complete Reference" I have edited my network and ppp scripts so
that pon
now connects and sets up my route correctly, and I can connect to the W95
machine
on my lan. However, diald does not make a connection. It dials, connects
for
about 30 seconds, then the line disconnects.
I too was wondering if pon could be called by diald, since pon does work.
Has anyone
done this successfully?
Thanks,
Russ
