LaMe QuEsTiOn: hwo do i ppp ?
LaMe QuEsTiOn:
how do i ppp ??? (in linux)
i read the ppp, pppd, net-2 HOWTOs about one million times,
i wrote all the commands they told me, but nothing works:
the chat does'nt dial, and pppd does'nt work, the kermit does'nt
suspend, and the telnet's and ftp's dont work.
the only program i sucseded in dialing with is: MiNiCoM...
the problem is: i tried two things:
1) to open another xterm in X-windows, and run "pppd /dev/modem 38400"
in it.
2) to suspend the minicom and run pppd on the same xterm.
first of all:
option 1: DIDNT WORK. (my comp beeped for a couple of seconds) but
nothing worked (telnet, ftp, etc...).
option 2: DIDNT WORK. (how the he*l can i suspend minicom ?!?
i tried ctrl-Z but it didnt work. (did suspend nor exit)
please help me!
BTW, i tried all this in redhat 3.0.3 (and hopfully i'll get redhat 4.0
next week.)
BTW #2
is'nt there a 'trumpet winsock' or something for linux that can solve
all of this?!
