Connecting to T-Online with PPP

Introduction :

Since june 97 the german Telecom finally offers access to the internet directly via PPP.

This statement is valid both for PPP connections with a modem and for syncPPP via ISDN. Please see the separate description below.

The following is valid for both procedures :

Modem :

Installing the ppp-Files in /etc/ppp :

Configuration :

You have to adapt the followig files in /etc/ppp :

Start and stop :

Start the connection with /etc/ppp/ppp-up.

Stop it with /etc/ppp/ppp-down.

If something doesn't work, activate the debug-option in ppp-up. Monitor the output on the screen and the messages in /var/log/messages.

Check with ifconfig and route whether the IP connection was configured correctly.

ISDN:

With an ISDN-Terminaladapter (TA) :

From the computer's point of view this can be accessed just like a modem. So in principle the same configuration can be used as above. You only have to adapt the command sequence for the modem in /etc/ppp/ppp.chat.to.

Jan G. Loeschner (jan.loeschner@blomberg.de) uses the following Init sequence for a ELSA ISDN/TL V.34 :

AT &F \N10 DI 0191011
Here the sequence \N10 for HDLC transparent is important.

With isdn4linux (ISDN card) :

Configure the connection as syncPPP with dynamic IP numbers. This is explained e.g. in the S.u.S.E. ISDN-HowTo or in the S.u.S.E. ISDN quick-install guide (see below).

Starting with S.u.S.E.-Linux 5.0 you can configure this directly in YaST !

You have to adapt the telephone numbers that should be called, the user name and the password as is described above.

If you create the pap-secrets manually, please note that the username must be enclosed in double apostrophes (") . See above for an example.
