[OLUG] yet more ppp

Tue Mar 7 23:39:30 UTC 2000

I you're dialing into radiks (which I think you are from your email
address), you can download scripts from radiks' site
(http://www.radiks.net/support/linuxrad.html). 

I had to change the dialing script to give some mru settings to pppd,
also the port speed to 115200. Here is the gist -->

/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS2 115200 modem mru 2200 crtscts defaultroute
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -t 120 -f /etc/radiks.scp"

I've found that if you've got your modem dialing, the problem is in your
scripts. Try the radiks scripts. Hope this helps.
