[luau] PPP connection

[Patrick Kennedy]

A lot of people connect to the Internet using xWindow configurations 
nowadays.  But I'd like to connect using the pppd scripts, since that's more 
server oriented.  However, when I try, I get the offering error:

Serial connection established.
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem

Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0

Does any one know what this means?  Here's my ppp-on, ppp-on-dialer, and 
options script files below.  Until I get this working, I prefer wintel to 
login, since doing minicom/manual workarounds is a pain.  If I could use 
ppp-on to login easily, then I could start doing some cool stuff.  Any ideas 
what the problem may be?

Patrick.

#!/bin/sh

# /etc/ppp/scripts/ppp-on
#
# Script to initiate a ppp connection. This is the first part of the
# pair of scripts. This is not a secure pair of scripts as the codes
# are visible with the 'ps' command.  However, it is simple.
#
# These are the parameters. Change as needed.
TELEPHONE=999-9999	# The telephone number for the connection
ACCOUNT=username	# The account name
PASSWORD=*******	# The password for this account
LOCAL_IP=0.0.0.0	# Local IP address if known. Dynamic = 0.0.0.0
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0	# Remote IP address if desired. Normally 0.0.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.255	# The proper netmask if needed

# /etc/ppp/scripts/ppp-on-dialer
# Export them so that they will be available at 'ppp-on-dialer' time.
# export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD
#
# This is the location of the script which dials the phone and logs
# in.  Please use the absolute file name as the $PATH variable is not
# used on the connect option.  (To do so on a 'root' account would be
# a security hole so don't ask.)
#
DIALER_SCRIPT=/etc/ppp/scripts/ppp-on-dialer
#
# Initiate the connection
#
# I put most of the common options on this command. Please, don't
# forget the 'lock' option or some programs such as mgetty will not
# work. The asyncmap and escape will permit the PPP link to work with
# a telnet or rlogin connection. You are welcome to make any changes
# as desired. Don't use the 'defaultroute' option if you currently
# have a default route to an ethernet gateway.
