Unfortunately, I didn't have success, though it may be due to some
mistake(s) on my part. I got com0 working so I can talk to my modem
with minicom. I edited /etc/ppp/ppp.conf to (hopefully) connect to my
ISP. Then I read your message in the mailing list archive from (I
think) November, 2001, as suggested by Marcus. I did this:
# settrans -cfgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i tun0
Then I ran:
# ppp -background myisp.net
and got some error messages. The modem then dialed and tried to
connect, but it seemed like it never authenticated. I may work on it
a bit more, as I remember wrestling with /etc/ppp/options an awful lot
years ago when I first tried to get pppd working. That is, I
wouldn't be surprised to discover I had an error in my config.
Quick question: Is there a way I can get a log of the "handshaking"
that's going on, meaning the chat-type messages as well as the
pap/chap exchanges? This way I might be able to debug the
problem faster. Nothing got written into /var/log/ppp.log when
I tried this (that file remained empty).
TIA. BTW, I don't plan to kill myself working on this, it's mainly
a learning exercise and something I might be able to help document
if I'm successful.
