Turn off echoing, set hardware flow control, set the modem to reset on DTR drop and set the modem to auto answer. Read your modem manual because modems vary. This is from a Zoom modem: STORED PROFILE 0: B1 E0 L1 M0 N1 Q1 T V1 W1 X4 Y0 &C1 &D3 &G0 &J0 &K3 &Q5 &R1 &S1 &T5 &X0 S00:001 S02:043 S06:002 S07:050 S08:002 S09:006 S10:014 S11:095 S12:050 S18:000 S36:007 S37:000 S40:168 S41:195 S46:138 S95:000 Make sure you have the correct devices. /dev/ttyc? (I believe -- I don't have a cyclades card.) If they're not there, run MAKEDEV. Somebody help me here -- why wouldnt ttyd? work on the cyclades? Then set up /etc/ttys: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" vt100 on insecure ..etc.. Add a line like this for all the ports for which you have a modem. Then either reboot the system or type in: kill -HUP 1 so that init rereads the configuration. Then, create a user login: username:*:1001:1001:User's Dialup PPP,,,:/usr/tmp:/usr/local/sbin/ppp-login /usr/local/sbin/ppp-login is a script that looks like: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/mesg n stty -tostop exec /usr/sbin/pppd proxyarp 10.1.1.1:10.1.1.129 # (localaddr:remoteaddr) This part I've never done, but it would be my first cut: In addition to the /etc/ppp/options file, I would add an /etc/ppp/options.ttyd? file for each dial-in port that contained only local and remote IP addresses and take the addresses out of the ppp-login script. Each line will need its own IP address. With the exception of the last part, I use this for dial-in and out, ppp in and out as well as uucp in and out. Anyone who has used this, I would be interested in knowing how you handled multiple ports for dial-in and ppp. -- Jay
