Re: [iPAQ] PPP and IP questions

Ellen: I finally got PPP working between my desktop redhat box an my ipaq
(familiar 0.3). Here are some things which helped me:

-- Look in the /var/log/messages file on your laptop for debug info.
-- I was having trouble getting the 'Login:' message from the ipaq. I finally
had to change my chat script (in /etc/ppp/peers/ipaq) to something like this:

connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 word:-- ppp'

This pretty well sends 'ppp' in all cases.

-- I had to take out the 'noipdefault' option in /etc/ppp/options on my home
machine (which uses ppp to connect to the internet).

Fiddling with any of these things may help.
