in what config file should I place 'setserial /dev/ttyS3 IRQ 5", and pon ?
Good morning,
I have a 56k dialup/firewall box using Debian 2.2.17
I configured the dialup connection using 'ppp-config'
and selected 'demand' dial
however after reboot doing 'netstat -nr' returns only
"192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth0"
When I ping an address out on the net it won't dial out.
If I type 'pon' and then 'netstat -nr' i get
a proper routing table as below
"10.112.112.112 0.0.0.0 UH ppp0"
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 U eth0
0.0.0.0 10.112.112.112 UG ppp0
and I can now ping out of my lan to an ip on the net.
Because I an using IRQ-5 on my modem I must also do a
'setserial /dev/ttyS3 IRQ 5" before dialing.
I am curious as to why the modem does not dial out
after setting 'demand' in 'ppp-config' ?
I set 'defaultroute' in ppp-config.
My most urgent question here is
in what config file should I enter the commands to
1. do 'setserial /dev/ttyS3 IRQ 5" after boot.
2. do 'pon' after boot.
I'm a former Redhat user...
With Redhat I would put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
but I noticed that my Potato install has no
file /etc/rc.d/rc.local...
so what file in Debian 2.2.17 performs rc.locals functions?
Also one other question,
when doing tail -f /var/log/messages I notice that
when I'm dialed up but the connection is just sitting there
dooing nothing for a while I get a bunch of
'---MARK---' messages and I'm wondering what they mean.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
John
