Installing and Administering PPP

54 Chapter 3
SLIP to PPP Migration
Migration Examples
After migration, the direct PPP connection is defined by:
Direct tty1p0 57600
/etc/ppp/Autostart. The /etc/ppp/Autostart entry for the direct
PPP connection is:
pppd ewok:keywest auto
Case 3: Dialout SLIP Connection with UUCP
System Name
This type of connection is represented by an entry in
/etc/ppl/ppl.remotes by type=DIALOUT, modem_control=YES and
the presence of uucp_system name. The migration task involves creating
an entry in both /etc/ppp/Systems and /etc/ppp/Devices using
information from /etc/ppl/ppl.remotes, /etc/uucp/Systems, and
/etc/uucp/Devices.
SLIP Configuration
/etc/ppl/ppl.remotes. The dialout SLIP connection is defined in
/etc/ppl/ppl.remotes by the following:
keywest # remote hostname or IP address
ewok # local hostname or IP address
# Internet mask
SLIP # protocol [SLIP] [ASLIPC] [ASLIPS]
[PPP] [CSLIPA] [CSLIP]
DIALOUT # type [DIRECT] [DIALIN]
[DIALOUT] [DIALIN & DIALOUT]
kqu # UUCP system name
NONE # line parity [EVEN] [ODD] [NONE]
/etc/ppp/Devices /etc/uucp/Devices
dialer set to Direct
device device_file (tty1p0)
speed speed (57600)
