Hi.
I've got a FreeBSD box connected via a analogue leased line to my ISP.
I'm using userland ppp, with the following ppp.conf file :
default:
set device /dev/cuaa0
set speed 38400
disable lqr
deny lqr
leasedline:
set timeout 0
set ifaddr 196.7.74.174 196.7.0.145
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
set openmode active
(196.7.74.174 is my IP address, 196.7.0.145 is the static IP address
assigned to the Portmaster).
I try to launch this with ppp -auto leasedline, but that often
fails. So, What I do is run it on a spare terminal, enter my password
and type dial leasedline. Hey presto, that works.
Question 1 : why does it not work with -auto ?
PS. No username/password is necessary - the Portmaster just starts speaking
PPP immediately.
The next thing is that sometimes the line goes down. In a case like that,
the modems will re-negotiate. Is there anything I can do to user-ppp
which will cause it to re-initialise the PPP connection ?
Question 2 : how do I get user-PPP to re-start itself when PPP dies ?
The following thing is that often the add 0 0 HISADDR line does nothing.
I have to delete ALL, and re-enter add 0 0 HISADDR, and then it works.
Sometimes, this happens quite often.
Question 3 : who does the routing fail, and more importantly, how do I get
the routing to work when noone is there to type it in ?
Question 4 : how do I add the equivalent command of route 196.7.74.174
-interface lo0 using user-ppp ?
Thanks very much to anyone who can help.
