Heres the solution (for me it was), postet some times ago.
: I find the "tin" newsreader in UNIX to be my favourite. I use a shell
: account and Minicom on my Linux box. (I never figured out how to do Linux
: PPP.) I like Linux becuse of the "information wants to be free" aspect of
Ugh!... I can't stand to see a fellow Linuxer stuck with shell access.
Maybe this'll help you out.
1.) Grab the following, paste it into a vi, or pico session, and save the
file out as /etc/ppp/options
/dev/ttys0 #<-- change to your modem's device (most likely cua0 or cua1)
57600 #<-- change to your modem's max BPS rate
asyncmap 0
connect /etc/ppp/ppp-conn.sh
crtscts
defaultroute
lock
debug
modem
2.) Type `chmod 600 /etc/ppp/options' at your shell prompt.
3.) Grab and paste the following, and then save it out as
/etc/ppp/ppp-conn.sh
chat -v -t 40 -f /etc/ppp/ppplogin.chat
4.) Type `chmod 500 /etc/ppp/ppp-conn.sh'
5.) Enter the following into your favorite text editor, and save it out
as /etc/ppp/ppplogin.chat
ABORT "BUSY"
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
"" AT<enter your init string here>\r
OK ATDT<enter your ISP's phone number here>\r
ogin: <enter your username here>\r
sword: <enter your password here>\r
Maybe you have to change ogin: or sword: find it out with minicom.
And it also could be necessary to start ppp with ppp\r
6.) Type `chmod 600 /etc/ppp/ppplogin.chat'
7.) Edit your /etc/resolv.conf file to have
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #<-- Your ISP's nameserver address 1
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #<-- Your ISP's fallback address (if supplied)
8.) Type pppd at your prompt, and that should do it. Test the connection
out with the ping command. Try `ping sunsite.unc.edu' or `ping
cdrom.com'.
Make sure you have PPP and TCP/IP support compiled into your kernel.
Nobody should be stuck with a mere dial-in shell <shudder>.
HTH, HAND.
