Keith, I found that under each header in the ppp.conf file, you need a space in front of each command line in order for ppp to recognize it. This may not be the case, but when I put the space in, everything seemed to work. For instance, here is a sample: demand: set speed 115200 set dial 1234567 ... If I left the spcae out: demand: set speed 115200 set dial 1234567 ... I would get an error complaining about dstaddr as well. Again, I might be wrong, but it worked for me. -Joe Clarke On Sun, 21 Sep 1997, Keith Spencer wrote: > > Hi all > I am making headway, > I have discovered how to use manual ppp & term > If I do > $ ppp ISP > PPP on smmc2>term > atdt713421 > it dials out & I get a terminal connection > Question... > how do I get it to dial out on demand from say a ping ?? > > Interestingly if I do > $ ppp > PPP on smmc2> dial ISP > no dial out occurs! > The phone number etc is stored in ppp.conf ISP: so I would have > thought it might...maybe I have o idea what I am doing here? > > I tried > $ ppp -auto ISP > > but it gave me an error asking for dstaddr or such ??? > > help? > > > > > Keith Spencer > Teacher...St Margaret Marys College > Townsville Australia >
