21.7.2 Conguring KInternet and cinternet
for Remote Use
KInternet and cinternet can be used to control a local or remote smpppd. cinternet is
the command-line counterpart to the graphical KInternet. To prepare these utilities for
use with a remote smpppd, edit the conguration le /etc/smpppd-c.conf man-
ually or using KInternet. This le only uses four options:
sites = list of sites
list of sites where the front-ends search for smpppd. The front-ends test
the options in the order specied here. local orders the establishment of a con-
nection to the local smpppd. gateway points to an smpppd on the gateway.
config-file indicates that the connection should be established to the smpppd
specied in the server and port options in /etc/smpppd-c.conf. slp
orders the front-ends to connect to an smpppd found via SLP.
server = server
The host on which smpppd runs.
port = port
The port on which smpppd runs.
password = password
The password selected for smpppd.
If smpppd is active, try to access it. For example, with cinternet --verbose
--interface-list. In case of difculties at this point, refer to the
smpppd-c.conf(5) and cinternet(8) man pages.
