Subject: [9fans] connecting to ISP with PAP?

With the help of:
nigel@9fs.org presotto@plan9.bell-labs.com miller@hamnavoe.demon.co.uk
I believe I have managed to be able to log on to my ISP.
This involved applying the PAP patch to PPP and using the script:
ip/ppp -s $host:$pass -uf -p '#t/eia1' -b115200
then,
atdt0,5303333^M

When I test the "log on" status with,
term% ip/ping 195.121.1.34 there  seems to be a connection.

What I have not done yet is provide for my
ISPs Domain Name Servers dns=195.121.1.34 and
My ISPs server uses DYNAMIC IP numbers.

I suspect I will need to put that information
the ipconfig command.

I hope I have documented this well enough so others can apply
it to their own situation. I know the archives have been useful to me
as well as the feedback from my postings.
