- Hi -
-
- I'm trying to install PPP to connect two Sun's and I have a few questions.
- I'm using the ppp-sunos4.1.pl6 version, and I have applied the mem_leak patch.
- Please let me know if there's a better version of PPP that I can use to connect
- two suns via 9.6 modems (telebit T2500).
-
- I can get the modems to talk to each other as I can use tip from one machine
- to dial and login to the other. I'm having a problem getting ppp to start
- up and make the connection. Here's the error message I get on the _calling_
- end:
-
- ppp: quit ioctl(I_FLUSH,FLUSHRW): Invalid argument
-
- I know that this message is coming from the calling in because I changed the
- printf statements to print the hostname.
-
- I get this message after running ppp-on. I think chat is making the connection
- because I fooled around with the username and password in the ppp-on script
- and got it to tell me "PPP call failed". I then fixed the password &
- username and got the error above.
-
- Here's some background info on the current setup:
-
- sparc2 is a SparcStation2 running SunOS4.1.1. I am using it as the calling
- machine.
-
- batcave is a Sun 4/110 running SunOS 4.1. I am using it as the answering
- machine (ppp "server").

-
- sparc2 batcave

- ppp: 131.167.151.1 ppp0/9600 Modem 131.167.152.1
-
-
- --> ppp-on - on sparc2
-
- Here's the important part of the ppp-on command. The rest of the file is
- the same as in your distribution.

- if chat -l LCK..cua0 ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT BUSY "" ATZ OK ATDT6767 CONNECT "" ogin: pppuser assword: \\qpppuser

- ppp mru 1500 131.167.151.1: /dev/cua0 &
-
-
-
- --> netstat -rn on sparc2
-
- This is the relevant output from netstat -rn:
- Routing tables
- Destination Gateway Flags Refcnt Use Interface
- 131.167.151.1 131.167.151.1 UH 0 0 ppp0

- 131.167.0.0 131.167.242.39 U 17 271195 le0
-
- I'm not sure why both 152.1 and 242.20 (our router) both show up as default.
-
- --> ifconfig ppp0 on sparc2
- Here's the ifconfig command for the ppp0 interface:
- ifconfig ppp0 131.167.151.1 131.167.152.1 netmask 0xffffff00 down
-
- Here's the output of ifconfig ppp0:
- ppp0: flags=10<POINTOPOINT>
- inet 131.167.151.1 --> 131.167.152.1 netmask ffffff00
-
- --> This is the pppstart script on batcave
- #!/bin/sh
- /usr/bin/mesg n
- echo "ppp user login attempted `date`" >> /var/adm/ppp_log
- stty -tostop
- exec /usr/local/bin/ppp 131.167.152.1:
-
- I know that a connection is being established between the modems and that the
- pppstart script is getting started because of the logging message that appears
- in the log file on the "called" end.
-
- If you have any comments or suggestions, or need more info, please send mail.
