by I am trying to set up PPP on a SPARC 10 running Solaris 2.3. We have a board,
running VxWorks (a unix-like embedded OS), which we would like to connect
to the SPARC using PPP across a direct RS-232 connection.
As far as I could figure things out I am supposed to set up UUCP first. Then I
can have PPP use one of my UUCP devices to connect...
My /etc/inet/hosts file contains an entry for the target board. (It is called
qlab-target1)
The entries in my uucp files are:
in /etc/uucp/Systems
qlab-target1 Any Direct 9600
in /etc/uucp/Devices
Direct cua/a - 9600 direct
The command:
cu -lcua/a
(which should connect to anything on the serial port, as far as I understand)
responds with
Parity option error
PPP is installed and running. The command:
ping qlab-target1
responds after some time with
no answer from qlab-target1
The relevant lines in the ppp log file /var/adm/log/asppp.log is:
09:58:47 process_ipd_msg: ipdptp0 needs connection
Device Type Direct wanted
09:59:18 process_ppp_msg: PPP_ERROR_IND Maximum number of configure
requests exceeded
Any suggestions would be more than welcome! please
