2nd Time unlucky at AutoPPP

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I've trawled the net in search of stuff on AutoPPP and have found several
guides, which vary slightly so I tried all of them.

The long and short of it is that is doesnt actually run pppd when it is
supposed to.  AutoPPP support has been compiled in, I've made the changes to
login.config, (Basically I followed
http://members.bellatlantic.net/~mrdennis/mgetty.html
 and also http://www.swcp.com/~jgentry/pers.html)

There isnt any noise in the logs from ppp so I'm sure it isn't starting.
There is *plenty* in the mgetty logs after I slapped it on debug 9.  Here is
a bit of that log for when a win95 client dialled in (and got booted off
with error 629 - whatever that means)

Also on the console it says - "mgetty FATAL: yS0 cannot get TIO"

I'm confused and I'm hoping an mgetty boffin might be able to steer me in
the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
