Hello all, I want to configure a server machine I have at home to answer a phone line via internal modem and setup a PPP connection to the "outside world" (the machine is connected via broadband) for a Win98 machine being the remote caller. I've read up a little on mgetty and its use of AutoPPP to fire off pppd via various google searches. Many of the links I've brought up are reasonably decent explanations, but based around Linux setups. Does anybody have any bookmarked pointers to setting up mgetty+AutoPPP under FreeBSD -STABLE? I've dug through a few bits and I know our in-tree compilation of pppd is compiled with -DCHAPMS (which the Linux-related pointers said to make sure you used when compiling pppd) and our port of mgetty+sendfax does define -DAUTO_PPP during compilation (which was another "must"). Is there anything else that is needed to enable the code to DTRT? If anybody has done this sort of thing and wishes to share config files, or "gotchas" I would much appreciate it! Please 'cc:' me. After grepping the archives, it looks like this topic has come up a lot with varied answers but no real "pointers." If somebody has pointers or sample config files, I would be happy to try and mark them up and submit them to the -doc project! -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, (space for rent, cheap!) | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
