****** ppp-on ******

#!/bin/sh
#
# Script to initiate a ppp connection. This is the first part of the
# pair of scripts. This is not a secure pair of scripts as the codes
# are visible with the 'ps' command.  However, it is simple.
#
# These are the parameters. Change as needed.
TELEPHONE=xxx-xxxx      # The telephone number for the connection
ACCOUNT=xxx      # The account name for logon (as in 'Georg Burns')
PASSWORD=xxxxxx  # The password for this account (and 'Gracie Allen')
LOCAL_IP=0.0.0.0        # Local IP address if known. Dynamic = 0.0.0.0
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0       # Remote IP address if desired. Normally 0.0.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0   # The proper netmask if needed
#
# Export them so that they will be available at 'ppp-on-dialer' time.
export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD
# 
# This is the location of the script which dials the phone and logs
# in.  Please use the absolute file name as the $PATH variable is not
# used on the connect option.  (To do so on a 'root' account would be
# a security hole so don't ask.)
#
DIALER_SCRIPT=/etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
#
# Initiate the connection
# 
# I put most of the common options on this command. Please, don't
# forget the 'lock' option or some programs such as mgetty will not
# work. The asyncmap and escape will permit the PPP link to work with
# a telnet or rlogin connection. You are welcome to make any changes
# as desired. Don't use the 'defaultroute' option if you currently
# have a default route to an ethernet gateway.
#
# My modem setting is com 4 (ttys3). You might need to get the right com number 
for 
# yourself.

xxxxxx            *                    XXXXXX

# xxxxxx = Your login name to ISP
# XXXXXX = You login password to ISP





Note : You need  all these  5 files : ppp-on, ppp-off, ppp-on-dialer, 
pap-secrets, options, and You
           need to place them to /etc/ppp directory. The ppp-on and ppp-off 
need to make them
           executable. 

           Finally, you might need to setup the path to reach these file. What 
you need to do is edit the 
           .profile  file ( add the path  PATH=$PATH:/etc/ppp: ). Then, you 
should be on good
           shape.

           After you type ppp-on, use route -n  command to verify the 
connection.
