EXAMPLE
#
# Devices - PPP devices file
#
#Dialer device speed Optional parameters
T2500-PEP cua 19200-PEP rtscts
T1600 cub 38400 rtscts
Direct rsd0a/0 1536000 internal-clocking
Oddball rsd0a/1 64000 cua 9600 5551212
In the last line of this example, the 64Kb synchronous modem on the SnapLink’s port 1 has an asynchro-
nous dialer interface attached to the workstation’s port ‘a’. The Systems line would look like
host Oddball rsd0a/1 64000 0
There must be a program (or an executable shell script) called /etc/ppp/Oddball that dials the
modem when invoked as
Oddball rsd0a/1 64000 0 cua 9600 5551212
A warning message will be printed for each unrecognized optional parameter if the debug level is 2 or more.
The external dialer is invoked as
root, so you should take appropriate security precautions with its con-
tent and file protection.
