| paul@18037 | 5 The 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 | 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 |
| paul@18037 | 19 addresses and telephone numbers. The parameters are passed to the |
| paul@18037 | 20 pppd process and then in turn to the second part of the connect |
| paul@18037 | 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. |
