I'm trying to install potato over a PPP connection between a laptop with no network card (hermod) and a desktop with ethernet (bolverk). I can communicate over the null modem between machines with minicom no problem. hermod:~# pppd -detach /dev/ttyS0 57600 192.168.5.2:192.168.5.1 crtscts debug noauth bolverk:~# pppd -detach /dev/ttyS1 57600 192.168.5.1:192.168.5.2 crtscts debug noauth does not set up a ppp0 interface on either machine... in fact, no information is transmitted across the serial line at all! also: bolverk:~# echo die pppd die >/etc/ttyS1 while pppd is running on hermod does not kill pppd or even cause it to log weird stuff. Is there anyone who can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? TIA -Dan -- "Beware he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."
