Very Computer

Hello.

I use a Linux box (2.0.x + ppp2.2.0f) and I dial into it
from another Linux box (similar) and reach a getty->login
prompt.  If I login as a regular user, I get a shell, as
a ppp user I get pppd as my shell.  Works wonders.

How can I make my Win95 box dial into this?  The silly
"Dialup Networking" hides everything.  How do I tell it
to type my Username at Login: my Password at Password: and
listen for "!}!}!} }2}!}$}%}&*}/}'}}(}"   (The ppp connection
should start :-)

I have a good understanding of tcp/ip and I have ppp <-> ppp
working between two linux boxes like I said.  I have Win95
connected to my livingston box as well, and it is going to
be the exact same config with a different IP address.  I say
this so that nobody will tell me to read the PPP-HOWTO (which
does not mention connecting linux as a server to w95 as a client).

This must be a FAQ, but I cannot find it.  Please help.

Thanks!

This is probably the same as connecting to a provider using win95 and
ppp. My provider here supplies an FAQ for this. Send email to

the subject heading. This details how to connect win95 to a ppp dial-up.
If it fails to send externally, email me and I'll retrieve it and send
you a copy of the document.

ps. Any idea why i get ppp not available message on my new linux 2.0.0
kernel?

  In Win95 you must install Dial-up Networking and TCP/IP. Once done
create
a new Dial-Up with Win95 and config appropriately. There is a check box
for bring up terminal window after dialing (uugetty) if you need it.

The other thing you can do is use the dial-up scripting utility. It is on
the Win95 CD-ROM. (This information is from the MS Knowledge Base.)
"1. In the Control Panel, doble-click Add/Remove Programs
2. On the Windows Setup tab, click Have Disk.
3. In the Copy Mfr's Files From box, enter
 <drive>:\admin\apptools\dscript
and click OK.
4. Click OK.
5. Click "SLIP and Scripting for Dial-Up Networking"
6. Click Install."

You can then edit a login script that will automatically start PPP for you.
(Make sure you un-check "Bring Up Terminal Window" if you use scripting!)
