mgetty and win98

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

I have a problem.  I've got mgetty-1.1.21 compiled with -DAUTO_PPP and
installed, it seems to be working perfectly.  I've also compiled
ppp-2.3.8 with HAS_SHADOW=1 and  USE_MS_DNS=1, that seems to work too.
The problem I am having, is I can't seem to connect to my Redhat 6.0
linux server with a win98 machine by simply plugging in the user name
and password, and phone number of course.  The only way I can get it to
connect is by enabling window after dial under the modem config for the
dialup connection.  I can then enter the user name and password
manually, and press F7 (for continue) and that works perfectly.  I can
use all of the internet features, etc...  Does anyone have any
suggestions on how I can make this work right.  Below is my
/etc/ppp/options file:

asyncmap 0
lock
ms-dns 24.94.195.32
ms-dns 24.94.195.33
192.168.1.10:192.168.1.11

This is my pap-secrets file:

# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
ppp             *       ""

The /etc/passwd entry for account ppp is as follows:

ppp:x:509:509:PPP User:/home/ppp:/usr/sbin/pppd

I have set chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd, and file permissions have been set
for user ppp.

Here is the line for /AutoPPP/ in my login.conf file:

/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth +pap -chap login modem crtscts
proxyarp @

Any suggestions on getting Windows 98 dialup connect to my linux machine
properly would be greatly appreciated.
