NAME
quickppp - PPP configuration tool
SYNOPSIS
quickppp
DESCRIPTION
quickppp is a simple utility that sets up a PPP connection to your ISP using pppd. While it's fairly simple to use, it's not fool-proof, so make sure you enter the right stuff! It uses PAP/CHAP authentication, so it will work with pretty much any ISP that works in Windows 9x Dial Up Networking (I think it will work with all of them). It has been tried with a few ISPs and has worked great.
To use:
Run through all the steps, and test the configuration by selecting Test connection (this will launch pppd). If you experience problems and you think you made a mistake, select the appropriate step and re-enter the values; then select Copy files and test again.
To connect:
- —
-
Log in as root.
- —
-
Run pppd at the shell prompt.
- —
-
Wait for modem to dial/connect. Once this has taken place, you should be connected within 15 seconds (most of the time, at least).
To disconnect:
- —
-
Log in as root.
- —
-
Type 'killall pppd' at the shell prompt. (NO QUOTES!)
- —
-
You should be disconnected in a few seconds.
