Re: [9fans] POV-Ray

Re: [9fans] POV-Ray

[anothy]

i (as well as others, all independantly) ported older
versions of POV-ray, using APE. it was a pretty easy
job. unless the newer versions have changed the code
structure significantly, i imagine it'd take only a
few hours to get running.

of course, i've not looked at the new code, so i could
well be talking out of places i shouldn't be talking
out of.

If you need to login by hand:

% ip/ppp -fub 115200 -p /dev/eia{0 or 1}

If ppp will do authentiation:

% ip/ppp -fub 115200 -p /dev/eia{0 or 1} -s <username>:<secret>

It gets addresses from the other end.  The telno, you have to dial yourself.
After ppp starts it takes input from the keyboard (actually stdin) until
you hit ^D.  The typical thing to do it type
	atdt<telno>^M
to get the dialer to call.  If you're real trusting, you can add
that onto the command line with the -t option.

In previous editions the telco fileserver was the nicest way to dial
the modem.   

Re: [9fans] ppp and other

I can tell that the Bell-Labs guys don't use PPP dialup much.  Not a
very refined interface for PPP...(no offense intended)  Shouldn't it
at least use a configuration file to specify phone number, username,
password, baud rate, etc.  then one could simply use something like:
ip/ppp <configfile> where a seperate config file could be used per
host?  (Similar to BSD's ppp command)  It's much easier that way than
specifying that many command switches!

Re: [9fans] ppp and other

[Michael H.Collins]

Sounds like we have a volunteer for writing a ppp interface.  LOL

have fun.

Why don't you just create a script to run ppp as you wish?

Re: [9fans] ppp and other

[Axel Belinfante]

I use a guide file from which I copy and paste the ppp command 
and the phone numbers that I use...

why not put the parametrised ppp command line in a file and run that?
much easier than having yet another configuration file.
don't forget to make it mode 700 if it has got passwords in it.

good day all,
why telco fails when i type:
	telco /dev/eia1
	con -l telco!62111
with printing ``Jul 15 18:06:08 mount failed: interrupted''?
thanks,

I have the same problem.  I'm guessing that it's because I'm using an
older modem (Still good for faxes!) that uses 7 bits no parity and
won't accept anything else.  Same story for you?  As far as I can
tell, there's no way to set those options.  Am I wrong?  Thanks!

I had a similar problem with PPP.

You can echo commands to /dev/eia[01]ctl to set baud rates, etc.  See
uart(3) for details.

Re: [9fans] ppp and other

[plan9]

As for me, I'm using a new (2001) TOPIC TP560i (x)/9922S14 hardware fax
modem. If you read telco manpage, telco supported only a few types of modems,
our modems aren`t supported, maybe they can`t be compatable with the standart
Hayes command subset.

I think we need a new telephone dialer with more options/possibilities and
more well supported modems; not the kppp but better than telco.
