Hi,
Thanks for your email. My ADSL on Linux is now working.
A few comments and answers:
1) I got it to work by recompiling pppd without the MSCHAP80 stuff.
apprently compiling this in causes it use chap instead of pap.
The -DUSE_CRYPT comes from the README.MSCHAP80 where they
discuss Linux users in the pppd documentation.
I think the faq should indicate that Actcom uses pap;
a list of what each ISV uses might save people time.
2) I also tried using the pppd option require-pap but with the above
MSCHAP80 compiled out it does not seem to matter.
3) I could not get nodefaultip to work but sine it works for me...
4) MTU and MRU have to be 1425 only for Orckit. I have an Alcatel
and 1500 seems to work fine.
5) The idea of using two lines in the pap-secrets , I got it from
some faq on the internet. Somebody out there said it worked for
him. When you are "desperate" in the middle of the night
anything goes.
I have removed it since it does not seem to do anything.
6) There seems to be a socket /var/run/ppt/10.0.0.138 created
by pptp. I found out that under certain conditions if I do not
rm it I cannot restart pptp again.
7) Using username@IActcom ,
Well you are correct about this one.
However I think the Faq could use
a little editing on line 191 it says:
"<username>@I<ISP>" "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1" "<your password>"
But on line 200 it says:
pptp 10.0.0.138 debug user xxx@ISP remotename "10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1"
I experimented with different possibilites but without the chap
nothing works.
Also on line 132 in the (winodws stuff ) it says:
username is username@IActcom. 'username' is obviously your actcom user
I suppose line 200 should be fixed.
And last but not least thank you very much Guy for responding.
I was half way through reading the 50 pages of rfc1661 (ppp) when
your email saved me a lot of time.
