Hi 

We are trying to connect two leased line analog modems using user ppp.
(2-wire modems.) Running on -stable as of last week. 

We know the modems work, because they have been previously set up
between another ISP and us (us being the client) and it worked. All
we need do was run "ppp -dedicated -alias" and it ran...

The modems connect (deskport p 28.8) and using "cu -l /dev/cuaa1
-s 38400" and "cu -l /dev/cuaA02 -s 38400" on the server, characters
on the server appear in the clients window.

The question is what do we have to do on the server to get it to
work, i.e. run ppp on the line?

I have tried to set up getty on the port: from /etc/ttys 
cuaA02 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  dialup on insecure 
Killed init kill -1 1 and getty runs but never runs
/usr/local/sbin/ppplogin. This has been set up using Method 2 in
the ppp man page. I've left out the chap and pap auth. since the
line is leased point-to-point.

I've tried mgetty, but this hogs the line and the modem never reconnect :(
I've tried setting "set openmode passive" and then running ppp -dedicated SHAUN
and no luck. The client ppp.log lists...:
May 28 22:48:16 emma ppp[1380]: tun0: Command: CS: set dial

May 28 22:48:53 emma ppp[1381]: Phase: deflink: /dev/cuaa1 doesn't support CD 

Here is a clip from the client side (ppp -dedicated CS)


CS:
 set dial ""
 set line /dev/cuaa1
 set sp 38400
 set timeout 900 
 set log Phase Chat LQM
 #set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: ppp word: ppp HELLO"
 set ifaddr 192.168.16.2 192.168.16.1
 enable lqr
 accept lqr

This is the snippet from ppp.conf on the server.
SHAUN:
 set device /dev/cuaA02
 set openmode active
 enable proxyall
 accept dns
 set dns x.x.x.x #(real ip #)
 set ifaddr 192.168.16.1 192.168.16.2 
 set timeout 0
 set lqrperiod 10
 set log Phase LQM
 enable lqr
 accept lqr


and /usr/local/bin/ppplogin is:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct SHAUN

The server is already set up to handle dialin ppp connections on 192.168.1.x
and this works fine.

What do we need to do to get this right?

Any pointers would be helpful.
