when starting pppd with the demand option, it will d demand dailing once. After that call hangs up, it will NOT call again. I am using the same scripts to run pppd in demand mode as I did in RH5.2 (had to recompile pppd under 5.2). I am starting ppp from my own scripts vice setting it in the /etc/sysconfig files. Of other note, restarting the networking with /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart causes pppd, if running, to dial even if there is no traffic bound for that interface. The ../netwrork restart never touches the ppp0 interface (doesn't see it in the $interfaces_boot variable).
I have updated to ppp-2.3.10-3. I can now cause ppp to demand dial from the box running pppd, but no other system can force a connection to be made. Once pppd has connected, then all systems can route traffic over the interfaces. Stoping and staring pppd now works properly. The following are the pertinent files/commands: --------/etc/ppp/options-------------- # /etc/ppp/options demand # Set dial on demand ktune idle 600 # Disconnet when idle for 600 seconds ipcp-accept-remote # Set remote IP address ipcp-accept-local # Get IP from remote lock # Lock modem debug # Log debug info modem 115200 crtscts # Use modem control lines defaultroute # Make PPP setup defaule route name csgordon connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/visi.chat' -------/etc/ppp/visi.chat----------------- ABORT 'BUSY' ABORT 'ERROR' ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' REPORT CARRIER REPORT CONNECT "" AT&F1 OK ATDT8779538 CONNECT ---------command used to start pppd------------ /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 57600 :204.71.248.1 NOTE: My ISP uses PAP for authentication. A chat script that connects via a terminal log in will NOT work. My pap-secrets file is set and functions properly. The output to syslog reveals nothing special (even with kdebug 1 set), but is attached for informational purposes.
