Ok, I deleted the 102 meg DOS partition and set it up
as ext2 /dev/hdb1. That gives me an extra partition
that I can use either with muLinux or Red Hat 5.2 on
this box.
But I notice that no one touched on my first question
-
I can't connect to my ISP [AT&T]. I found
/usr/bin/ppp and it appears that I never get through
the entire process. I enter ppp-on and it goes
through the to the point where it says "Please Wait"
and dies there?
PS shows several lines " /bin/setup/ isp status "
I see on the screen " ./bin/ps: cannot open
/proc/18368//stat: no such file " repeated several
times.
The modem loudspeaker sounds like it is trying to
connect but obviously CHAP is not satisfied?
I can connect to the Tampa Public Library system
without a problem so I know the modem does work.
I also know that the ATT CHAP system is pretty fussy
and I have a script for ppp-on that I am using in
RH-5.2 and 7.0 but I can't see any place to put it in
mu 10r5?
What do I need to do next?
WHERE IN MULINUX DOES THE PPP-ON STUFF GO?
This is the file I'm talking about -
#/usr/sbin/ppp-on
/usr/sbin/pppd name "987654321@worldnet.att.net" -d
connect \
'/usr/sbin/chat -t 45 -v ABORT BUSY "" ATDT3424101
CONNECT ""' \
/dev/modem 115200 noipdefault debug modem
defaultroute crtscts
Copied from my /etc/ppp/ppp-on file that I have
been using with RH-5.2 and 7.0. This is critical
with AT&T Worldnet, get one dot out of place and you
don't connect!
Thanks.
