UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

This is essential to me, you seem to confuse Sun with DEC.

ppp is a protocol, not a program, and half of using it is kernel-related. How to use it depends on what distribution you have. What is it?

You are correct.

I found this page below I'm going to take a look at, seems like what I'm looking for, don't ya think?

Dial-in access using Linux, mgetty and pppd

My Laptop: OpenSuSE 11.3 (*I know its old... But I still really like it)
Remote PC: OpenSuSE 13.1 (*on a CuBox-i)


Thanks,

Could be helpful.

Other question is, what are you dialing into?

I'm dialing into the Linux PC that I described above. It will have a USB Modem connected to it in which I will dial into. Is that what you were asking?

As I have just gotten a bit further into the Tutorial I posted from that link and it looks like it is configuring the Linux box as a RAS (*Remote Access
Server) for connecting to other devices on a remote network. But I am not wanting to connect to another device in the remote Network. I want to
connect to the Linux box itself not a separate device...

In the tutorial the setup diagram looks like this:
User PC (modem) ----> Telco ----> (modem & firewall) Linux RAS ----> Remote PC1, PC2, PC3, etc...

But for my purposes I am ONLY connecting to the Linux PC on the remote side. There are not any other PCs like in the diagram that I need to connect
to, ONLY the Linux PC.

But I'll check around and see if I can find another example somewhere online... If not I'll just continue going through this tutorial and see where it
gets me and maybe I can tweak it to my specific needs.

Thanks Again,
Matt

That's kind of why I asked "what are you dialing into". If your remote PC isn't on the internet, PPP is pointless.

Any suggestion we make at this point would involve reconfiguring your server so if it's miles away, LEAVE IT ALONE and MAKE DO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.
