Hi
I'm trying to use mgetty (v1.0) to drive ppp (as explained in the
handbook : I've recompiled mgetty with AutoPPP support). I'm using
FreeBSD v2.2.5, installed from a CDROM.
I've got a problem : the initial connection (from a W**-95 client) is
done all right (I can ping an machine from the client through the
Ethernet I/F of my FreeBSD machine), but ppp does not stop after the
end of the connection. Thus, mgetty is never awakened, and I can't
make another connection from the client to the FreeBSD server (because
ppp does not know how to answer the modem call).
Do I need to patch ppp, so that it "exit()s" when the ppp connection
is over or is there a newer version of ppp ? (or am I missing some
black magic in the configuration files ?)
Thanks in advance
TfH
