I'm trying to set up my Linux box (Caldera 2.3) to function as a PPP server for my Winblows laptop and I'm having trouble getting
things to work right.
On the Windows side, if I set up the dial-up networking to "bring up terminal window after dialing" and manually log in and
execute the /usr/sbin/pppd command myself, everything works fine. However, when I unselect that option, I can't get logged in.
Yes, I've read all the HOWTO's and all the man pages and I still can't figure out which config file to set up so that the linux
server end will automatically start up pppd and use pap/chap authentication.
I did make the following entry in /etc/inittab
7:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -s 115200 -D ttyS0 VC linux
This at least got my modem to answer the phone. The following is an excerpt from /var/log/mgetty.ttyS0
