Title: PPP Server configuration
It works.
Merci Glynn and Kapil !
Here is the configuration used both on server and client sides:
Server side:
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets: empty
/etc/ppp/options
asyncmap a000
passive
crtscts
modem
noauth
debug
lock
/etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 (the modem is linked to such tty)
192.168.250.1:192.168.250.2
115200
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets: empty
~/pppu/.ppprc
-detach
silent
/usr/sbin/pppd access rights: -rwsr-xr-x (chmod gu+s /usr/sbin/pppd)
Client side
cd /Where_the_ppp_client_configurations_files_are
ppp.opt
connect /Where_the_ppp_client_configurations_files_are/ppp.chat
debug
crtscts
modem
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
lock
defaultroute (will not be used if calling system still has a
defaultroute)
ppp.chat
/usr/sbin/chat -v ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT 'NO CARRIER' \
'' 'ATZ' 'OK' 'ATDTxxyyzz' \
TIMEOUT 40 'ExpectedModemReply' '' \
"ogin:" "MyCallingLoginId" "ord:" "MyCallingLoginPasswrd"
Note: The sequence TIMEOUT 40 'ExpectedModemReply' '' is required as
the called system is
configured to DO NOT send any CR when connected.
This means that without a CR sent by the calling
system, the ogin
prompt will never be sent by the called system.
To turn around the error messages:
Dec 1 18:28:11 localhost modprobe: can't locate module char-major-108
(Glynn Clements <glynn@sensei.co.uk>)
a)modify /etc/conf.modules adding alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
b)mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
Dec 1 18:28:11 localhost pppd[18425]: The remote system is required to

secret (password) for it to use to do so.

a) modify /etc/ppp/options adding noauth
Hope this message will help some people.
