NAME

dudisc, dudisc_du* - set line discipline for Dialup IP

SYNOPSIS

dudisc [ -d level ]

duinstall device

DESCRIPTION

Dudisc sets the line discipline on the current tty to use the Dialup IP line discipline. The program is intended to be the login shell for the username associated with a remote site.

The ``-d'' flag may be used to specify the amount of debugging information to record, and should be a number between zero and three, inclusive; higher numbers generate more output. The default is zero, to produce no output.

Dudisc examines the name by which it was invoked and determine the name of the interface to configure. This is normally done by linking dudisc to several different names. The alternate names should follow the format dudisc_dua# where a# is the interface number.

Note that users should have generally have a .hushlogin file in their home directory if they are using the standard login program.

The utility program duinstall creates the appropriate links.

FILES

/usr/dialupip/log/dial.log: Debugging information, and status reports of how long an interface has been up.
/usr/dialupip/log/PID.dev: The ID of the process (written in ASCII) that is connected to device dev.
