(isdnctrl busreject ...) + + For an outgoing call, the inactive physical lines are searched. + The call is placed on the first physical line, which supports the + requested protocols for the B-channel. If a net-interface, however + is pre-bound to a channel, this channel is used directly. + + This makes it possible to configure several network interfaces and ttys + for one EAZ, if the network interfaces are set to secure operation. + If an incoming call matches one network interface, it gets connected to it. + If another incoming call for the same EAZ arrives, which does not match + a network interface, the first tty gets a "RING" and so on. + +2 System prerequisites: + + ATTENTION! + + Always use the latest module utilities.

For example, the "io" +parameter may precede the "irq" parameter, or vice versa. If several +cards are installed, the ordering within the comma separated parameter +lists must of course be consistent. + +Only parameters applicable to the card type need to be specified. For +example, the Teles 16.3 card is not memory-mapped, so the "mem" +parameter may be omitted for this card. Sometimes it may be necessary +to specify a dummy parameter, however. This is the case when there is +a card of a different type later in the list that needs a parameter +which the preceding card does not.

+Description of the "concap" encapsulation protocol interface +============================================================ + +The "concap" interface is intended to be used by network device +drivers that need to process an encapsulation protocol. +It is assumed that the protocol interacts with a linux network device by +- data transmission +- connection control (establish, release) +Thus, the mnemonic: "CONnection CONtrolling eNCAPsulation Protocol". + +This is currently only used inside the isdn subsystem. But it might +also be useful to other kinds of network devices. Thus, if you want +to suggest changes that improve usability or performance of the +interface, please let me know. I'm willing to include them in future +releases (even if I needed to adapt the current isdn code to the +changed interface). + + +Why is this useful? +=================== + +The encapsulation protocol used on top of WAN connections or permanent +point-to-point links are frequently chosen upon bilateral agreement. +Thus, a device driver for a certain type of hardware must support +several different encapsulation protocols at once. + +The isdn device driver did already support several different +encapsulation protocols. The encapsulation protocol is configured by a +user space utility (isdnctrl). The isdn network interface code then +uses several case statements which select appropriate actions +depending on the currently configured encapsulation protocol. + +In contrast, LAN network interfaces always used a single encapsulation +protocol which is unique to the hardware type of the interface. The LAN +encapsulation is usually done by just sticking a header on the data. Thus, +traditional linux network device drivers used to process the +encapsulation protocol directly (usually by just providing a hard_header() +method in the device structure) using some hardware type specific support +functions. This is simple, direct and efficient. But it doesn't fit all +the requirements for complex WAN encapsulations. + + + The configurability of the encapsulation protocol to be used + makes isdn network interfaces more flexible, but also much more + complex than traditional lan network interfaces. + + +Many Encapsulation protocols used on top of WAN connections will not just +stick a header on the data. They also might need to set up or release +the WAN connection. They also might want to send other data for their +private purpose over the wire, e.g. ppp does a lot of link level +negotiation before the first piece of user data can be transmitted. +Such encapsulation protocols for WAN devices are typically more complex +than encapsulation protocols for lan devices. Thus, network interface +code for typical WAN devices also tends to be more complex. + + +In order to support Linux' x25 PLP implementation on top of +isdn network interfaces I could have introduced yet another branch to +the various case statements inside drivers/isdn/isdn_net.c. +This eventually made isdn_net.c even more complex. In addition, it made +isdn_net.c harder to maintain. Thus, by identifying an abstract +interface between the network interface code and the encapsulation +protocol, complexity could be reduced and maintainability could be +increased. + + +Likewise, a similar encapsulation protocol will frequently be needed by +several different interfaces of even different hardware type, e.g. the +synchronous ppp implementation used by the isdn driver and the +asynchronous ppp implementation used by the ppp driver have a lot of +similar code in them. By cleanly separating the encapsulation protocol +from the hardware specific interface stuff such code could be shared +better in future. + + +When operating over dial-up-connections (e.g. telephone lines via modem, +non-permanent virtual circuits of wide area networks, ISDN) many +encapsulation protocols will need to control the connection. Therefore, +some basic connection control primitives are supported. The type and +semantics of the connection (i.e the ISO layer where connection service +is provided) is outside our scope and might be different depending on +the encapsulation protocol used, e.g. for a ppp module using our service +on top of a modem connection a connect_request will result in dialing +a (somewhere else configured) remote phone number. For an X25-interface +module (LAPB semantics, as defined in Documentation/networking/x25-iface.txt) +a connect_request will ask for establishing a reliable lapb +datalink connection. + + +The encapsulation protocol currently provides the following +service primitives to the network device. + +- create a new encapsulation protocol instance +- delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources +- initialize (open) the encapsulation protocol instance for use. +- deactivate (close) an encapsulation protocol instance. +- process (xmit) data handed down by upper protocol layer +- receive data from lower (hardware) layer +- process connect indication from lower (hardware) layer +- process disconnect indication from lower (hardware) layer + + +The network interface driver accesses those primitives via callbacks +provided by the encapsulation protocol instance within a +struct concap_proto_ops. + +struct concap_proto_ops{ + + /* create a new encapsulation protocol instance of same type */ + struct concap_proto * (*proto_new) (void); + + /* delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources. + cprot may no loger be referenced after calling this */ + void (*proto_del)(struct concap_proto *cprot); + + /* initialize the protocol's data.

The network interface must provide the net_dev and +dops pointers. Other concap_proto members should be considered private +data that are only accessed by the pops callback functions. Likewise, +a concap proto should access the network device's private data +only by means of the callbacks referred to by the dops pointer. + + +A possible extended device structure which uses the connection controlling +encapsulation services could look like this: + +struct concap_device{ + struct net_device net_dev; + struct my_priv /* device->local stuff */ + /* the my_priv struct might contain a + struct concap_device_ops *dops; + to provide the device specific callbacks + */ + struct concap_proto *cprot; /* callbacks provided by protocol */ +}; + + + +Misc Thoughts +============= + +The concept of the concap proto might help to reuse protocol code and +reduce the complexity of certain network interface implementations. +The trade off is that it introduces yet another procedure call layer +when processing the protocol. This has of course some impact on +performance. However, typically the concap interface will be used by +devices attached to slow lines (like telephone, isdn, leased synchronous +lines). For such slow lines, the overhead is probably negligible. +This might no longer hold for certain high speed WAN links (like +ATM). + + +If general linux network interfaces explicitly supported concap +protocols (e.g. by a member struct concap_proto* in struct net_device) +then the interface of the service function could be changed +by passing a pointer of type (struct net_device*) instead of +type (struct concap_proto*). Doing so would make many of the service +functions compatible to network device support functions. + +e.g. instead of the concap protocol's service function + + int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb); + +we could have + + int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb); + +As this is compatible to the dev->hard_start_xmit() method, the device +driver could directly register the concap protocol's encap_and_xmit() +function as its hard_start_xmit() method. This would eliminate one +procedure call layer. + + +The device's data request function could also be defined as + + int (*data_req)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb); + +This might even allow for some protocol stacking. And the network +interface might even register the same data_req() function directly +as its hard_start_xmit() method when a zero layer encapsulation +protocol is configured. Thus, eliminating the performance penalty +of the concap interface when a trivial concap protocol is used. +Nevertheless, the device remains able to support encapsulation +protocol configuration. + diff --git a/Documentation/isdn/README.diversion b/Documentation/isdn/README.diversion new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..bddcd5fb86f --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/isdn/README.diversion @@ -0,0 +1,127 @@ +The isdn diversion services are a supporting module working together with +the isdn4linux and the HiSax module for passive cards. +Active cards, TAs and cards using a own or other driver than the HiSax +module need to be adapted to the HL<->LL interface described in a separate +document.

Beta Change Summaries and Miscellaneous Notes + +1. Introduction +--------------- + +The revision 2 Linux driver for SpellCaster ISA ISDN adapters is built +upon ISDN4Linux available separately or as included in Linux 2.0 and later. +The driver will support a maximum of 4 adapters in any one system of any +type including DataCommute/BRI, DataCommute/PRI and TeleCommute/BRI for a +maximum of 92 channels for host. The driver is supplied as a module in +source form and needs to be complied before it can be used. It has been +tested on Linux 2.0.20. + +1.1 What Is ISDN4Linux + +ISDN4Linux is a driver and set of tools used to access and use ISDN devices +on a Linux platform in a common and standard way. It supports HDLC and PPP +protocols and offers channel bundling and MLPPP support. To use ISDN4Linux +you need to configure your kernel for ISDN support and get the ISDN4Linux +tool kit from our web site. + +ISDN4Linux creates a channel pool from all of the available ISDN channels +and therefore can function across adapters. When an ISDN4Linux compliant +driver (such as ours) is loaded, all of the channels go into a pool and +are used on a first-come first-served basis. In addition, individual +channels can be specifically bound to particular interfaces. + +1.2 What is different between this driver and previous drivers? + +The revision 2 driver besides adopting the ISDN4Linux architecture has many +subtle and not so subtle functional differences from previous releases. These +include: + - More efficient shared memory management combined with a simpler + configuration. All adapters now use only 16Kbytes of shared RAM + versus between 16K and 64K. New methods for using the shared RAM + allow us to utilize all of the available RAM on the adapter through + only one 16K page. + - Better detection of available upper memory. The probing routines + have been improved to better detect available shared RAM pages and + used pages are now locked. + - Decreased loading time and a wider range of I/O ports probed. + We have significantly reduced the amount of time it takes to load + the driver and at the same time doubled the number of I/O ports + probed increasing the likelihood of finding an adapter. + - We now support all ISA adapter models with a single driver instead + of separate drivers for each model. The revision 2 driver supports + the DataCommute/BRI, DataCommute/PRI and TeleCommute/BRI in any + combination up to a maximum of four adapters per system. + - On board PPP protocol support has been removed in favour of the + sync-PPP support used in ISDN4Linux. This means more control of + the protocol parameters, faster negotiation time and a more + familiar interface. + +1.3 How do I setup my system with the correct software to use + this driver release? + +Before you can compile, install and use the SpellCaster ISA ISDN driver, you +must ensure that the following software is installed, configured and running: + + - Linux kernel 2.0.20 or later with the required init and ps + versions. Please see your distribution vendor for the correct + utility packages. The latest kernel is available from + ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/v2.0/ + + - The latest modules package (modules-2.0.0.tar.gz) from + ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/modules-2.0.0.tar.gz + + - The ISDN4Linux tools available from + ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/isdn4linux/v2.0/isdn4k-utils-2.0.tar.gz + This package may fail to compile for you so you can alternatively + get a pre-compiled version from + ftp://ftp.spellcast.com/pub/drivers/isdn4linux/isdn4k-bin-2.0.tar.gz + + +2. Basic Operations +------------------- + +2.1 Unpacking and installing the driver + + 1. As root, create a directory in a convenient place. We suggest + /usr/src/spellcaster. + + 2. Unpack the archive with : + tar xzf sc-n.nn.tar.gz -C /usr/src/spellcaster + + 3. Change directory to /usr/src/spellcaster + + 4. Read the README and RELNOTES files. + + 5. Run 'make' and if all goes well, run 'make install'. + +2.2 Read the man pages!!! + +Make sure you read the scctrl(8) and sc(4) manual pages before continuing +any further. Type 'man 8 scctrl' and 'man 4 sc'. + +2.3 Installing the driver + +To install the driver, type '/sbin/insmod sc' as root. sc(4) details options +you can specify but you shouldn't need to use any unless this doesn't work. + +Make sure the driver loaded and detected all of the adapters by typing +'dmesg'. + +The driver can be configured so that it is loaded upon startup. To do this, +edit the file "/etc/modules/'uname -f'/'uname -v'" and insert the driver name +"sc" into this file. + +2.4 Removing the driver + +To remove the driver, delete any interfaces that may exist (see isdnctrl(8) +for more on this) and then type '/sbin/rmmod sc'. + +2.5 What to do if it doesn't load + +If, when you try to install the driver, you get a message mentioning +'register_isdn' then you do not have the ISDN4Linux system installed. Please +make sure that ISDN support is configured in the kernel. + +If you get a message that says 'initialization of sc failed', then the +driver failed to detect an adapter or failed to find resources needed such +as a free IRQ line or shared memory segment. If you are sure there are free +resources available, use the insmod options detailed in sc(4) to override +the probing function. + +Upon testing, the following problem was noted, the driver would load without +problems, but the board would not respond beyond that point. When a check was +done with 'cat /proc/interrupts' the interrupt count for sc was 0. In the event +of this problem, change the BIOS settings so that the interrupts in question are +reserved for ISA use only. + + +2.6 How to setup ISDN4Linux with the driver + +There are three main configurations which you can use with the driver: + +A) Basic HDLC connection +B) PPP connection +C) MLPPP connection + +It should be mentioned here that you may also use a tty connection if you +desire.

The isdn subsystem might be +useful to run X.25 on top of ISDN. If you want to try it, select + + "CCITT X.25 Packet Layer" + +from the networking options as well as + + "ISDN Support" and "X.25 PLP on Top of ISDN" + +from the ISDN subsystem options when you configure your kernel for +compilation. You currently also need to enable +"Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" from the +"Code maturity level options" menu. For the x25trace utility to work +you also need to enable "Packet socket". + +For local testing it is also recommended to enable the isdnloop driver +from the isdn subsystem's configuration menu. + +For testing, it is recommended that all isdn drivers and the X.25 PLP +protocol are compiled as loadable modules. Like this, you can recover +from certain errors by simply unloading and reloading the modules. + + + +What's it for? How to use it? +============================= + +X.25 on top of isdn might be useful with two different scenarios: + +- You might want to access a public X.25 data network from your Linux box. + You can use i4l if you were physically connected to the X.25 switch + by an ISDN B-channel (leased line as well as dial up connection should + work). + + This corresponds to ITU-T recommendation X.31 Case A (circuit-mode + access to PSPDN [packet switched public data network]). + + NOTE: X.31 also covers a Case B (access to PSPDN via virtual + circuit / packet mode service). The latter mode (which in theory + also allows using the D-channel) is not supported by isdn4linux. + It should however be possible to establish such packet mode connections + with certain active isdn cards provided that the firmware supports X.31 + and the driver exports this functionality to the user. Currently, + the AVM B1 driver is the only driver which does so. (It should be + possible to access D-channel X.31 with active AVM cards using the + CAPI interface of the AVM-B1 driver). + +- Or you might want to operate certain ISDN teleservices on your linux + box. A lot of those teleservices run on top of the ISO-8208 + (DTE-DTE mode) network layer protocol. ISO-8208 is essentially the + same as ITU-T X.25. + + Popular candidates of such teleservices are EUROfile transfer or any + teleservice applying ITU-T recommendation T.90. + +To use the X.25 protocol on top of isdn, just create an isdn network +interface as usual, configure your own and/or peer's ISDN numbers, +and choose x25iface encapsulation by + + isdnctrl encap <iface-name> x25iface. + +Once encap is set like this, the device can be used by the X.25 packet layer. + +All the stuff needed for X.25 is implemented inside the isdn link +level (mainly isdn_net.c and some new source files). Thus, it should +work with every existing HL driver. I was able to successfully open X.25 +connections on top of the isdnloop driver and the hisax driver. +"x25iface"-encapsulation bypasses demand dialing. Dialing will be +initiated when the upper (X.25 packet) layer requests the lapb datalink to +be established. But hangup timeout is still active. Whenever a hangup +occurs, all existing X.25 connections on that link will be cleared +It is recommended to use sufficiently large hangup-timeouts for the +isdn interfaces. + + +In order to set up a conforming protocol stack you also need to +specify the proper l2_prot parameter: + +To operate in ISO-8208 X.25 DTE-DTE mode, use + + isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x75i + +To access an X.25 network switch via isdn (your linux box is the DTE), use + + isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dte + +To mimic an X.25 network switch (DCE side of the connection), use + + isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dce + +However, x25dte or x25dce is currently not supported by any real HL +level driver. The main difference between x75i and x25dte/dce is that +x25d[tc]e uses fixed lap_b addresses. With x75i, the side which +initiates the isdn connection uses the DTE's lap_b address while the +called side used the DCE's lap_b address. Thus, l2_prot x75i might +probably work if you access a public X.25 network as long as the +corresponding isdn connection is set up by you. At least one test +was successful to connect via isdn4linux to an X.25 switch using this +trick. At the switch side, a terminal adapter X.21 was used to connect +it to the isdn. + + +How to set up a test installation? +================================== + +To test X.25 on top of isdn, you need to get + +- a recent version of the "isdnctrl" program that supports setting the new + X.25 specific parameters. + +- the x25-utils-2.X package from + ftp://ftp.hes.iki.fi/pub/ham/linux/ax25/x25utils-* + (don't confuse the x25-utils with the ax25-utils) + +- an application program that uses linux PF_X25 sockets (some are + contained in the x25-util package). + +Before compiling the user level utilities make sure that the compiler/ +preprocessor will fetch the proper kernel header files of this kernel +source tree. Either make /usr/include/linux a symbolic link pointing to +this kernel's include/linux directory or set the appropriate compiler flags. + +When all drivers and interfaces are loaded and configured you need to +ifconfig the network interfaces up and add X.25-routes to them. Use +the usual ifconfig tool. + +ifconfig <iface-name> up + +But a special x25route tool (distributed with the x25-util package) +is needed to set up X.25 routes. I.e. + +x25route add 01 <iface-name> + +will cause all x.25 connections to the destination X.25-address +"01" to be routed to your created isdn network interface. + +There are currently no real X.25 applications available. However, for +tests, the x25-utils package contains a modified version of telnet +and telnetd that uses X.25 sockets instead of tcp/ip sockets. You can +use those for your first tests. Furthermore, you might check +ftp://ftp.hamburg.pop.de/pub/LOCAL/linux/i4l-eft/ which contains some +alpha-test implementation ("eftp4linux") of the EUROfile transfer +protocol. + +The scripts distributed with the eftp4linux test releases might also +provide useful examples for setting up X.25 on top of isdn. + +The x25-utility package also contains an x25trace tool that can be +used to monitor X.25 packets received by the network interfaces. +The /proc/net/x25* files also contain useful information. + +- Henner diff --git a/Documentation/isdn/syncPPP.FAQ b/Documentation/isdn/syncPPP.FAQ new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..3257a4bc078 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/isdn/syncPPP.FAQ @@ -0,0 +1,224 @@ +simple isdn4linux PPP FAQ .. to be continued .. not 'debugged' +------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Q01: what's pppd, ipppd, syncPPP, asyncPPP ?? +Q02: error message "this system lacks PPP support" +Q03: strange information using 'ifconfig' +Q04: MPPP??

(e.g when + using ttyI* or tty* devices) + + The ipppd handles PPP packets coming in HDLC + frames (bit based protocol) ... The PPP driver + in isdn4linux pushes all IP packets direct + to the network layer and all PPP protocol + frames to the /dev/ippp* device. + So, the ipppd is a simple external network + protocol handler. + + If you login into a remote machine using the + /dev/ttyI* devices and then enable PPP on the + remote terminal server -> use the 'old' pppd + + If your remote side immediately starts to send + frames ... you probably connect to a + syncPPP machine .. use the network device part + of isdn4linux with the 'syncppp' encapsulation + and make sure, that the ipppd is running and + connected to at least one /dev/ippp*. Check the + isdn4linux manual on how to configure a network device. + +-- + +Q02: when I start the ipppd .. I only get the + error message "this system lacks PPP support" +A: check that at least the device 'ippp0' exists. + (you can check this e.g with the program 'ifconfig') + The ipppd NEEDS this device under THIS name .. + If this device doesn't exists, use: + isdnctrl addif ippp0 + isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp + ... (see isdn4linux doc for more) ... +A: Maybe you have compiled the ipppd with another + kernel source tree than the kernel you currently + run ... + +-- + +Q03: when I list the netdevices with ifconfig I see, that + my ISDN interface has a HWaddr and IRQ=0 and Base + address = 0 +A: The device is a fake ethernet device .. ignore IRQ and baseaddr + You need the HWaddr only for ethernet encapsulation. + +-- + +Q04: MPPP?? What's that and how can I use it ... + +A: MPPP or MP or MPP (Warning: MP is also an + acronym for 'Multi Processor') stands for + Multi Point to Point and means bundling + of several channels to one logical stream. + To enable MPPP negotiation you must call the + ipppd with the '+mp' option. + You must also configure a slave device for + every additional channel. (see the i4l manual + for more) + To use channel bundling you must first activate + the 'master' or initial call. Now you can add + the slave channels with the command: + isdnctrl addlink <device> + e.g: + isdnctrl addlink ippp0 + This is different from other encapsulations of + isdn4linux! With syncPPP, there is no automatic + activation of slave devices. + +-- + +Q05: I tried MPPP but it doesn't work .. the ipppd + writes in the debug log something like: + .. rcvd [0][proto=0x3d] c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 01 00 0a ... + .. sent [0][LCP ProtRej id=0x2 00 3d c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 ... + +A: you forgot to compile MPPP/RFC1717 support into the + ISDN Subsystem. Recompile with this option enabled. + +-- + +Q06: can I use asynchronous PPP encapsulation + over the network interface of isdn4linux .. + +A: No .. that's not possible .. Use the standard + PPP package over the /dev/ttyI* devices. You + must not use the ipppd for this. + +-- + +Q07: A SunISDN machine tries to connect my i4l system, + which doesn't work. + Checking the debug log I just saw garbage like: +!![ ... fill in the line ... ]!! + +A: The Sun tries to talk asynchronous PPP ... i4l + can't understand this ... try to use the ttyI* + devices with the standard PPP/pppd package + +A: (from Alexanter Strauss: ) +!![ ... fill in mail ]!! + +-- + +Q08: I wanna talk to remote machines, which need + a different configuration. The only way + I found to do this is to kill the ipppd and + start a new one with another config to connect + to the second machine. + +A: you must bind a network interface explicitly to + an ippp device, where you can connect a (for this + interface) individually configured ipppd. + +-- + +Q09: When I start the ipppd I only get error messages + from the i4l driver .. + +A: When starting, the ipppd calls functions which may + trigger a network packet. (e.g gethostbyname()). + Without the ipppd (at this moment, it is not + fully started) we can't handle this network request. + Try to configure hostnames necessary for the ipppd + in your local /etc/hosts file or in a way, that + your system can resolve it without using an + isdn/ippp network-interface. + +-- + +Q10: I wanna use dynamic IP address assignment ... How + must I configure the network device. + +A: At least you must have a route which forwards + a packet to the ippp network-interface to trigger + the dial-on-demand. + A default route to the ippp-interface will work. + Now you must choose a dummy IP address for your + interface. + If for some reason you can't set the default + route to the ippp interface, you may take any + address of the subnet from which you expect your + dynamic IP number and set a 'network route' for + this subnet to the ippp interface. + To allow overriding of the dummy address you + must call the ipppd with the 'ipcp-accept-local' option. + +A: You must know, how the ipppd gets the addresses it wanna + configure. If you don't give any option, the ipppd + tries to negotiate the local host address! + With the option 'noipdefault' it requests an address + from the remote machine. With 'useifip' it gets the + addresses from the net interface. Or you set the address + on the option line with the <a.b.c.d:e.f.g.h> option. + Note: the IP address of the remote machine must be configured + locally or the remote machine must send it in an IPCP request. + If your side doesn't know the IP address after negotiation, it + closes the connection! + You must allow overriding of address with the 'ipcp-accept-*' + options, if you have set your own or the remote address + explicitly. + +A: Maybe you try these options .. e.g: + + /sbin/ipppd :$REMOTE noipdefault /dev/ippp0 + + where REMOTE must be the address of the remote machine (the + machine, which gives you your address) + +-- + +Q11: I can't connect. How can I check where the problem is. + +A: A good help log is the debug output from the ipppd... + Check whether you can find there: + - only a few LCP-conf-req SENT messages (less then 10) + and then a Term-REQ: + -> check whether your ISDN card is well configured + it seems, that your machine doesn't dial + (IRQ,IO,Proto, etc problems) + Configure your ISDN card to print debug messages and + check the /dev/isdnctrl output next time. There + you can see, whether there is activity on the card/line. + - there are at least a few RECV messages in the log: + -> fine: your card is dialing and your remote machine + tries to talk with you. Maybe only a missing + authentication. Check your ipppd configuration again. + - the ipppd exits for some reason: + -> not good ... check /var/adm/syslog and /var/adm/daemon. + Could be a bug in the ipppd. + +-- + +Q12: How can I reduce login delay? + +A: Log a login session ('debug' log) and check which options + your remote side rejects. Next time configure your ipppd + to not negotiate these options. Another 'side effect' is, that + this increases redundancy. (e.g your remote side is buggy and + rejects options in a wrong way). + + + |
