Linux PPP Configuration


Note: The following configures Slackware 3.4 or better using PPPSetup script v1.98.



1. As root, type "pppsetup" at a console prompt.

2. Hit Enter, type "atdt" then enter the local access number in your area. You can find our list of
access numbers here. If you are in Sherman for example, you would type "atdt8133210".

3. Select the com port that your modem is on. If you have a plug-and-play modem, refer to the
Plug and Play How To on the http://www.linuxdoc.org Web site.

4. Select the port speed. If you have a 56k modem, we suggest you select 115200. If you use
ISDN, select 460800. Using a port speed greater than 115200 with a 56k modem will not yield
better results.

5. At the callback screen, select "No".

6. The default modem string should be "'AT&FH0", then hit Enter on the "Modem Init String" page.

7. Type "texoma.net" on the "Domain Name" page.

8. At the DNS IP Address page, type "209.151.96.2". (NO QUOTES)

9. On the next page, select "Script".

10. On the 'expect' page, type "ogin:" and hit Enter. For the 'send' page, type in your user name
with no spaces, no capital letters, and no '@texoma.net', then hit Enter. On the next 'expect'
page, type "word:" and hit Enter. On the 'send' page, type in your password and hit Enter
twice.

11. You should be able to type "ppp-go" and hear your modem start dialing.

12. To disconnect, type "ppp-off".
