[9fans] ipconfig and ppp

[9fans] ipconfig and ppp

[Ronald G Minnich]

If I do this:
ipconfig -D ppp /dev/eia0
ipconfig goes right out to ... ethernet ... and gets an IP.

When I RTFM it sorta implies that it will use the byte stream device I
named. So, another silly question before I waste a lot of time, anybody
out there used ppp as the primary interface recently? I'm almost
wondering if it makes no sense to use ipconfig and ppp ...

thanks

[9fans] /dev/vgactl question

[ISHWAR RATTAN]

Is there a way to make the command

   echo hwaccel off > /dev/vgactl

stick around reboot(s)?

Try doing it in /rc/bin/termrc, or in your $home/lib/profile

Those two scripts run right after you boot.

I haven't used ppp'ed quite a while but when I used
dialup this is what I used to do:

telco /dev/eia1
ip/ppp -f -P -b 57600 -k 'server=ntl user=xxx'  -p telco!ntl 0.0.0.0 52.252.189.157
ndb/dns -r
echo -n refresh > /net/cs
aux/timesync -n

just fyi, I'm having real problems with telco so plan to use the ppp and 
chat file instead. Telco does very little for you with a modem that 
supports ppp and is hard-wire to 115kb anyway ...

I've actually had telco get a null pointer deref, and it seems to get 
hung up and not pass bits for some reason. Weird, it is a simple 
program, but ...
