If you were trying to get Windoze to dial in to your 504 or 505 box then
you will want to do some DUN Scripting on the Windoze side. However, I
have just monkeyed with a 505 box and there now is auto detection of
incomming PPP calls done via -s option to getty and a file called
/etc/gettyacts. This can negate the need for scripting on the Windoze
side. I don't know if that was available in 504 but it works like a
charm in 505.
Try this for auto PPP from Windoze to 505 SCO PPP:
-add a user such as "genppp" with home directory of /usr/lib/ppp and
shell of /usr/lib/ppp/ppp
-add the following to /etc/ppphosts:
*genppp remote=+generic filter=default flow=rtscts accm=0 auth=pap
mask=255.255.255.0
-add the following to /etc/ppppool (where NETWORK is something like
192.168.1):
generic NETWORK.100:NETWORK.101\
NETWORK.102:NETWORK.103\
NETWORK.104:NETWORK.105\
NETWORK.106:NETWORK.107\
NETWORK.108:NETWORK.109
- add specific user names and passwords in /etc/pppauth such as
(and also specify those in your Windoze DUN connect screen):
kenwolff pppking
- create /etc/gettyacts with (ownership bin,group bin,modes 440):
PPP:/usr/lib/ppp/ppp:-u genppp:0x7e
- change your modem getty line in /etc/inittab (also
/etc/conf/init.d/<file>) and add "-s20" (that's 20 tenths of a second or
2 seconds - the man pages incorrectly say it is seconds):
Se2A:234:respawn:/etc/getty -s20 tty2A modem
- then have pppd re-examine the configuration files and get the new
getty flag in operation:
# disable tty2A; enable tty2A
# kill -1 `cat /etc/pppd.pid`
This works with 95 & 98 DUN.
