Dial-up ISP config howto [URGENT, sort of...]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everybody!!

I have time until Monday evening to become a dial-up ISP. Zero experience. 
Hardware is set, the server with a couple of serial boards, and six modems 
visible as /dev/ttyM0 ... /dev/ttyM5, alive and working (meaning that I can 
successfully query each modem etc.). Modems are standard USR56K serial 
external, so I assume there will be no problems on that side. Six phone lines 
are dedicated, attached and ready.

Now the question. I need to set up the system to answer incoming calls, 
automatically log in the user and give him access to the Internet (web, mail, 
etc...). Bearing in mind that I need to have it working by Monday evening, I 
have no time to read through modem-howto and pppd-howto, but need just the 
shortest set of instructions about what files to configure, what daemons to 
have running, and anything else that is important. Would be very grateful for 
any sample config files or something similar.

Aside from that, once I have the thing in operation, I will have more time to 
read, learn and understand the docs and how it all works. So would like to 
know if there is any relevant howto that requires reading (aside from modem- 
and ppp-howto which are already on the todo list).

What I already know on the subject is that I should have mgetty running to 
answer incoming calls, log in the user and start pppd (I guess) which then 
takes over. But that is just about all my knowledge regarding dial-up, and 
mgetty and pppd require some sort of initial configuring, I guess. However, I 
know enough about tcp/ip and networking in general, so am not a total newbie.

So, anyone with experience?

:-)
