#Dialer device speedOptional parameters

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.
