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