pankso@6 1 README.scripts - PPP scripts documentation for SliTaz GNU/Linux 2007
pankso@6 2 ===============================================================================
pankso@6 3
pankso@6 4
pankso@6 5 This README.scripts file is based on the documentation found in the ppp source
pankso@6 6 package (version 2.4.4). The files in the scripts/ directory were contributed
pankso@6 7 by Al Longyear (longyear@netcom.com) and Adi Masputra (adi.masputra@sun.com).
pankso@6 8 This file was modified for SliTaz by Christophe Lincoln (pankso@slitaz.org).
pankso@6 9
pankso@6 10
pankso@6 11 ppp-on
pankso@6 12 ------
pankso@6 13 This script will initiate a connection to the PPP system. It will run
pankso@6 14 the chat program with the connection script as a parameter. This is a
pankso@6 15 possible security hole. However, it is simple. It is meant to replace
pankso@6 16 the previous version of ppp-on which was not very functional.
pankso@6 17
pankso@6 18 The ppp-on script has entries for the account name, password, IP
pankso@6 19 addresses, and telephone numbers. The parameters are passed to the
pankso@6 20 pppd process and, then in turn, to the second part of the connect
pankso@6 21 script, as a set of environment variables.
pankso@6 22
pankso@6 23 Please make sure that you put the full path name to the ppp-on-dialer
pankso@6 24 script in the reference to it in ppp-on.
pankso@6 25
pankso@6 26
pankso@6 27 ppp-on-dialer
pankso@6 28 -------------
pankso@6 29 This is the second part to the simple calling script, ppp-on. It
pankso@6 30 executes the chat program to connect the user with a standard UNIX
pankso@6 31 style getty/login connection sequence.
pankso@6 32
pankso@6 33
pankso@6 34 callback
pankso@6 35 --------
pankso@6 36 This script may be used in lieu of the ppp-on-dialer to permit the
pankso@6 37 common modem callback sequence. You may need to make changes to the
pankso@6 38 expected prompt string for the modem.
pankso@6 39
pankso@6 40 The script works by disabling the system's detection of the DCD
pankso@6 41 condition and working on the modem status message "NO CARRIER" which
pankso@6 42 is generated when the modem disconnects.
pankso@6 43
pankso@6 44 It is crude. It does work for my modem connection. Use as you see fit.
pankso@6 45
pankso@6 46
pankso@6 47 redialer
pankso@6 48 --------
pankso@6 49 The redialer script is a replacement for the ppp-on-dialer script. It
pankso@6 50 will do 'attack dialing' or 'demon dialing' of one or more telephone
pankso@6 51 numbers. The first number which responds will be used for a
pankso@6 52 connection.
pankso@6 53
pankso@6 54 There is a limit of ten attempts and a 15 second delay between dialing
pankso@6 55 attempts. Both values are set in the script.
pankso@6 56
pankso@6 57
pankso@6 58 ppp-off
pankso@6 59 -------
pankso@6 60 This is a script which will terminate the active ppp connection. Use
pankso@6 61 as either "ppp-off" to terminate ppp0, or "ppp-off <device>" to
pankso@6 62 terminate the connection on <device>. For example, "ppp-off ppp2" will
pankso@6 63 terminate the ppp2 connection.
