How to Establish PPP Connection in MachTen

• Preparation of Pppclient Scripts
  The following examples show how to make ppp connection for user=UserId with passwd=PassWd.
  For connection with tip:
  1. cd /etc
  2. cp pppclient pppclient.ORIG
  3. cp pppclient.ORIG pppclient.tip
  4. vi pppclient.tip
     LINE="/dev/cm.out1" # communications toolbox port #1
     cat >$PPPLOGIN <<'@EOF@'
     "" ""
     ogin: UserId/ppp
     word: PassWd
     CONNECT ""
     @EOF@

     chmod a+x pppclient.tip
  For direct connection:
  1. vi pppclient
     LINE="/dev/cm.out1" # communications toolbox port #1
     cat >$PPPLOGIN <<'@EOF@'
     "" atv1&c0&d0&k3s0=1s2=128
     OK atdt771210
     CONNECT ""
     ogin: "UserId/ppp"
     word: "PassWd"
     CONNECT ""
     @EOF@

     chmod a+x pppclient
  In any case, the CONNECT "" string after "PassWd" is essential to make callback process work.
• First Time
  Prepare /dev/cm.out1 file as the modem port using Communications ToolBox as follows, where strings in [] are prompts.
  1. su
  2. tip cm.out
     ---> Select "Powerport Modem Card"
     Bau rate: 57600
     DTR&CTS
     Then press "OK"

     [connected]

     atv1&c0&d0&k3s0=1s2=128

     [OK]

     atdt771210

     [CONNECT 115200]

     [login:]
  Here select the last item in "File" and save this to /dev/cm.out1. Type ~. to exit the "tip" command.
  pppclient.tip
  This starts ppp connection. Try
  netstat -r
  ping jlcuxf
  ....

  Second Time
  The lazy way is

  su

  /etc/pppclient
  More secure way is

  su

  tip cm.out1

  [connected]

  atdt771210

  [CONNECT 115200]

  [login:]
  Type ~. to exit the "tip" command and then

  /etc/pppclient.tip
