The problem at hand is dial up ppp accounts. They run great using
Netscape, for about 5 minutes, then they become bogged and slow.
Here is how we handle PPP accounts:
versions: ppp-2.1.2d Linux 1.2.0
We have an alias in /etc/profile:
alias ppplogin='exec /etc/ppp/ppplogin'
Listing of /etc/ppp/ppplogin:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/etc/pppd modem passive proxyarp :205.162.198.10
XWS IP login sequence for slip or ppp:
Wait for "ogin:"
Send user_name <return>
Wait for "word:"
Send password <return>
Wait for "~$"
Send ppplogin <return>
Start PPP or Slip on local system.
XWS Servers: 'DNS = 205.162.198.2'
'POP and SMTP = 205.162.198.2'
'NEWS = 205.162.198.2'
'WWW = 205.162.198.2'
Router: 'Gateway = 205.162.198.1'
Users dial in with 14.4 and 28.8 modems using mgetty-0.22:
Here is a section of /etc/inittab:
s1:5:respawn:/usr/src/mgetty-0.22/mgetty.blackbox -i /etc/issue.dialup -n
2 -s 38400 ttyS1
s2:5:respawn:/usr/src/mgetty-0.22/mgetty.blackbox -i /etc/issue.dialup -n
2 -s 38400 cua16
s3:5:respawn:/usr/src/mgetty-0.22/mgetty.blackbox -i /etc/issue.dialup -n
2 -s 38400 cua17
s4:5:respawn:/usr/src/mgetty-0.22/mgetty.blackbox -i /etc/issue.dialup -n
2 -s 38400 cua18
s5:5:respawn:/usr/src/mgetty-0.22/mgetty.blackbox -i /etc/issue.dialup -n
2 -s 38400 cua19
s6:5:respawn:/usr/src/mgetty-0.22/mgetty.blackbox -i /etc/issue.dialup -n
2 -s 38400 cua20
s7:5:respawn:/usr/src/mgetty-0.22/mgetty.blackbox -i /etc/issue.dialup -n
2 -s 38400 cua21
s8:5:respawn:/usr/src/mgetty-0.22/mgetty.blackbox -i /etc/issue.dialup -n
2 -s 38400 cua22
Any ideas on why the ppp connection is slowing and how we can fix it would
be much appreciated.
Thanks Much,
Brian
