dial on demand, works & perfectly ....
OK heres my recepie for dial on demand, works great, doesnt seem to suffer
from loseing first lookup ...
Debian 3.0, pppd
Oh what a world of trouble !!!!!
First kill the default diald demon
for /etc/rc2.d to /etc/rc5.d
mv S20diald _S20diald
setup pppd with
pppconfig
BEWARE, the default connection for everything is provider, use it. pppconfig
also sometimes screws up, delete provider and start again.
NTL uses chat, yes chat authentication !!!
pppd options are held in
/etc/ppp/peers/provider
the chat script is held in
/etc/chatscripts/provider
The pppd options needed are ...
# This optionfile was generated by pppconfig 2.0.10.
#
#
hide-password
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider"
debug
/dev/modem
115200
defaultroute
noipdefault
user XXXX.XXXX
ipparam provider
demand
usepeerdns
idle 240
holdoff 3
And the chat script is ....
# This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.0.10.
# Please do not delete any of the comments. Pppconfig needs them.
#
# ispauth PAP
# abortstring
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO DIAL
TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT DELAYED
# modeminit

# ispnumber
OK-AT-OK ATDT126308005190100
# ispconnect
CONNECT \d\c
# prelogin
# ispname
# isppassword
# postlogin
# end of pppconfig stuff
To start the dial on demand link
pon
To stop the dial on demand link
poff
Ensure authorised users are entered in pppconfig.
Put pon in ~/.kde/Autostart for all users who want it.
GOOD LUCK
