5.4 -PPP

- -

Many people still connect to the Internet through some kind of dialup connection. The -most common method is PPP, though SLIP is still occasionally used. Setting up your system -to speak PPP to a remote server is pretty easy. We've included a few tools to help you in -setting it up.

- -
-

5.4.1 pppsetup

- -

Slackware includes a program called pppsetup to configure -your system to use your dialup account. It shares a look and feel similar to our netconfig program. To run the program, make sure you are logged in -as root. Then type pppsetup to run it. You should see a screen -like this:

- -

The program will present a series of questions, to which you will feed it appropriate -answers. Things like your modem device, the modem initialization string, and the ISP -phone number. Some items will have a default, which you can accept in most cases.

- -

After the program runs, it will create a ppp-go program and a -ppp-off program. These are used to start and stop, respectively, -the PPP connection. The two programs are located in /usr/sbin -and need root privileges to run.

-
- -
-

5.4.2 /etc/ppp

- -

For most users, running pppsetup will be sufficient. However, -there may be an instance where you want to tweak some of the values used by the PPP -daemon. All of the configuration information is kept in /etc/ppp. Here is a list of what the different files are for:

- -
- --- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
ip-down -

This script is run by pppd after the PPP connection is -ended.

-
ip-up -

This script is run by pppd when there's a successful ppp -connection. Put any commands you want run after a successful connection in this file.

-
options -

General configuration options for pppd.

-
options.demand -

General configuration options for pppd when run in demand -dialing mode.

-
pppscript -

The commands sent to the modem.

-
pppsetup.txt -

A log of what you entered when you ran pppsetup.

-

Note -

Most of these files won't be there until after you run pppsetup.
