Step 3
Open up ppp-on-dialer in a text editor and change the setting after
TIMEOUT (probably 30) to 60. If this script is to be accessible to other
users besides root, change the line which reads:
exec chat -v
to include the path for the chat program (usually /usr/sbin/chat) as follows:
exec /usr/sbin/chat -v
Then save and close the file.
Step 4
Open up /etc/ppp/options. Make sure there is a line that says “lock” in it.
This prevents other processes from accessing the modem while it is in use.
If it is not there, add it in and save and close the file.
Step 5
Set the permissions on the scripts to be executable by typing
chmod +x ppp-o*
and pressing ENTER. Since the password is stored unencrypted in ppp-on,
it is a good idea to set permissions on that file to 711 (read/write/execute for
owner and execute-only for everyone else), and change owner and group to
root by typing (as root):
chmod 711 ppp-on
chown root ppp-on
chgrp root ppp-on
pressing ENTER after the last argument of each command.
Step 6
Open up the /etc/resolv.conf file. In it, enter the IP addresses of the ISP’s
DNS’s as follows:
nameserver x.x.x.x
where
x.x.x.x
is the IP address of the DNS. Enter each one on its own
line in the same format.
Step 7
To test the connection, run
/etc/ppp/ppp-on
by typing it (full path
also) at the prompt. The prompt should return, and the modem should
start dialing soon.
