<sect><heading>Setting up kernel PPP<label id="ppp"></heading>

<p><em>Contributed by &a.gena;.</em>

Before you start setting up PPP on your machine make
sure that pppd is located in /usr/sbin and directory /etc/ppp
exists.

pppd can work in two modes:
<enum>
<item> as a "client" , i.e. you want to connect your machine to outside
world via PPP serial connection or modem line.

<item> as a "server" , i.e. your machine is located on the network and
used to connect other computers using PPP.
</enum>
In both cases you will need to set up an options file (<tt>/etc/ppp/options</tt>
or <tt>~/.ppprc</tt> if you have more then one user on your machine that uses
PPP).

You also will need some modem/serial software ( preferably kermit )
so you can dial and establish connection with remote host.

<sect1><heading>Working as a PPP client</heading>

<p>I used the following <tt>/etc/ppp/options</tt> to connect to CISCO terminal
server PPP line.
<verb>
crtscts		# enable hardware flow control
modem		# modem control line
noipdefault	# remote PPP server must supply your IP address.
		# if the remote host doesn't send your IP during IPCP
		# negotiation , remove this option
passive		# wait for LCP packets
domain ppp.foo.com	# put your domain name here

:<remote_ip>	# put the IP of remote PPP host here
		# it will be used to route packets via PPP link
		# if you didn't specified the noipdefault option
		# change this line to <local_ip>:<remote_ip>

defaultroute	# put this if you want that PPP server will be your
		# default router
</verb>

To connect:
<enum>
<item> Dial to the remote host using kermit ( or other modem program )
enter your user name and password ( or whatever is needed to enable PPP
on the remote host )

<item> Exit kermit. ( without hanging up the line )

<item> enter: 
<verb>
/usr/src/usr.sbin/pppd.new/pppd /dev/tty01 19200
</verb>
( put the appropriate speed and device name )
</enum>

Now your computer is connected with PPP. If the connection fails for some
reasons you can add the "debug" option to the <tt>/etc/ppp/options</tt> file
and check messages on the console to track the problem

Following <tt>/etc/ppp/pppup</tt> script will make all 3 stages automatically:
<verb>
#!/bin/sh 
ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep
pid=`ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
if [ "X${pid}" != "X" ] ; then
        echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid}
        kill ${pid}
fi
ps ax |grep kermit |grep -v grep
pid=`ps ax |grep kermit |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
if [ "X${pid}" != "X" ] ; then
        echo 'killing kermit, PID=' ${pid}
        kill -9 ${pid}
fi

ifconfig ppp0 down
ifconfig ppp0 delete

kermit -y /etc/ppp/kermit.dial
pppd /dev/tty01 19200
</verb>

<tt>/etc/ppp/kermit.dial</tt> is kermit script that dials and makes all
necessary authorization on the remote host.
( Example of such script is attached to the end of this document )

Use the following <tt>/etc/ppp/pppdown</tt> script to disconnect the PPP line:
<verb>
#!/bin/sh
pid=`ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
if [ X${pid} != "X" ] ; then
        echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid}
        kill -TERM ${pid}
fi

ps ax |grep kermit |grep -v grep
pid=`ps ax |grep kermit |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
if [ "X${pid}" != "X" ] ; then
        echo 'killing kermit, PID=' ${pid}
        kill -9 ${pid}
fi

/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 down
/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 delete
kermit -y /etc/ppp/kermit.hup 
/etc/ppp/ppptest
</verb>

Check if PPP is still running (<tt>/usr/etc/ppp/ppptest</tt>):
<verb>
#!/bin/sh
pid=`ps ax| grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
if [ X${pid} != "X" ] ; then
        echo 'pppd running: PID=' ${pid-NONE}
else
        echo 'No pppd running.'
fi
set -x
netstat -n -I ppp0
ifconfig ppp0
</verb>

Hangs up modem line (<tt>/etc/ppp/kermit.hup</tt>):
<verb>
set line /dev/tty01	; put your modem device here
set speed 19200
set file type binary
set file names literal
set win 8
set rec pack 1024
set send pack 1024
set block 3
set term bytesize 8
set command bytesize 8
set flow none

pau 1
out +++
inp 5 OK
out ATH0\13
echo \13
exit
</verb>


<p>Here is an alternate method using <tt>chat</tt> instead of
<tt>kermit</tt>.

<em>Contributed by &a.rhuff;.</em>

<p>The following two files are sufficient to accomplish a pppd
connection.

<p><tt>/etc/ppp/options</tt>:
<verb>
 /dev/cuaa1 115200

crtscts		# enable hardware flow control
modem		# modem control line
connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat.script"
noipdefault	# remote PPP server must supply your IP address.
		# if the remote host doesn't send your IP during
		# IPCP negotiation, remove this option
passive		# wait for LCP packets
domain <your.domain>	# put your domain name here

:		# put the IP of remote PPP host here
		# it will be used to route packets via PPP link
		# if you didn't specified the noipdefault option
		# change this line to <local_ip>:<remote_ip>

defaultroute	# put this if you want that PPP server will be
		# your default router
</verb>


<p><tt>/etc/ppp/login.chat.script</tt>:

(This should actually go into a single line.)

<verb>
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' "" AT OK ATDT<phone.number>
 CONNECT "" TIMEOUT 10 ogin:-\\r-ogin: <login-id>
 TIMEOUT 5 sword: <password>
</verb>


Once these are installed and modified correctly, all you need to
do is

<p><tt>pppd</tt>.

Use this <tt>/etc/ppp/pppservdown</tt> script to stop ppp server:
<verb>
#!/bin/sh 
ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep
pid=`ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`

        kill -9 ${pid}
fi
ifconfig ppp0 down
ifconfig ppp0 delete

kermit -y /etc/ppp/kermit.noans
</verb>

Following kermit script will enable/disable autoanswer mode 
on your modem (<tt>/etc/ppp/kermit.ans</tt>):
<verb>
set line /dev/tty01
set speed 19200
set file type binary
set file names literal
set win 8
set rec pack 1024
set send pack 1024
set block 3
set term bytesize 8
set command bytesize 8
set flow none

out ATS0=1\13	; change this to out ATS0=0\13 if you want to disable
		; autoanswer mod
inp 5 OK

exit
</verb>

This <tt>/etc/ppp/kermit.dial</tt> script is used for dialing and authorizing
on remote host. You will need to customize it for your needs.
Put your login and password in this script , also you will need
to change input statement depending on responses from your modem
and remote host.
