[ILUG] kppp Ireland On Line config

[corby2]

Hi, Rick the newbie here so don't be too harsh, but would like creative
comments, used to do slackware near the beginning, should have carried on
but went the microsoft way, back again with SuSe 6.2 - kernal 2.2.10 -
kde 1.1.1 running on PIII 500, 128Mb,Xrage32,Creative
Live, DVD-dxr2?, Deskjet895cxi. Zoom 34i. (running alongside a Diamond 56K
Winmodem win only) Got most of the above running - Winmodem NOT - DVD NOT.

This is a standalone set up not connected to a network.

Here's a quick setup for IOL that works:

Start kppp (Always a good thing)
Select 'Setup' button
@ Accounts tab select 'New'

	@ Dial tab
	Connection Name 	IOL
	Phone Number		1891121121
	Authentication		Script-base
	Store password		Up to U I checked it
	@ IP tab	Check Dynamic IP Address radio button

	@DNS		Domain Name 'Didn't know what to put here? Whose Domain
	Name?(Getting slow in old age SPEAK UP I CAN'T HERE) I put 
				iol.ie
	DNS IP Address		194.125.2.240 then press Add button
				194.125.2.241 ditto
	U may have to disable existing DNS if your on a DNS network.
	@Gateway	Check default Gateway	

	@Login Script
	Expect		ogin:
	ID
	Expect		assword:
	Password
	Expect		otocol:
	Send		ppp

Press OK to return to main config dialogue

@Device tab
	Modem Device		/dev/ttyS3 (This is DOS Com port 4
	put yours here!)(/dev/modem will work here with SuSe 6.2)
	Flow Control:		CRTSCTS
	Line Termination		CR  ***NOTE***(The Login Sript will not
	work if left at the standard CR/LF)
	Connection Speed 	57600
	Use Lock File 		Checked
	Modem Timeout		30

@Modem tab
	Busy wait 		3
	Modem Volume	up to U but I had tochange 'Modem Command' High to M1L3
	from M1L4 when I selected High vol
	U can do a Query modem to see if  kppp is talking to the modem or not.
	
If it is then press OK then Connect and it will work first time - Yeh?!

If not try pressing terminal and then at&f or at&f1 or at&w0 some of these
might work I'm a bit behind these days :-) and a bit dodery.....

Perhaps someone could clean this up abit, I just hope It dosen't confuse too
many people and helps at least one!
