[LI] Re: problem with mgetty ....continues

["Pankaj Mathur" <matsulsan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
Thanks for your responses.
Jiju Mathew-your scripts were quite impressive and I am sure lot of users 
must have found it useful-you've made the entire thing so simple. I did the 
installation(after returning the system to original state)  but alas it is 
still not working for me- maybe the problem lies else where. But sdi and sdo 
are working in the sense that my modem frees up for dialling in or dialling 
out.Please answer the following for me:
1. There was no entry created in /etc/mgetty*/login.config by your setup 
script- is it OK ,if yes then what takes care of that required  
/AutoPPP/..... command?
2. Why this extra file options.ttyS0.in is needed  and why all three files 
options,options.ttyS0 & options.ttyS0.in have the same set of commands 
placed in them (I mean why do we need so files with same commands in them).
3. Another basic doubt is that do I need to create a special user for dial 
up - I just created one by doing "adduser pankaj" and then created a passwd 
for it and used the name "pankaj" for my dialup connection from a win95 
machine.
4. The win95 machine also has a valid IP address on the LAN but when it is 
dialling into my Linux server (on the same LAN) I am assigning an IP address 
of 192.168.0.2 to it - do you think that could be the source of trouble.
If you want I can send you the log extract from both the modems (if it can 
help) -i am not pasting it here to avoid wasting more bandwidth than what I 
have already done.
Thanks again for all the help.
Bye

PS: can anyone suggest how to copy from emacs and paste in Netscape text box 
or is there a catch in it?
