[9fans] Dialup connection help..

[Ish Rattan]

Hello,

I just installed Plan9 on my home PC. The dialin to school bug has
bit me. The remote end uses PAP (to the best of my knowledge) and
needs three pieces info 1) host -> ppp, user, and password. I have
been dialing with FreeBSD  using somrthing like

host:--host:ppp ogin:$user word:$pass 	construct.

The modem also has to be toggled with string (ATS7=45S0=0L1V1&c1E1Q0).
After patching and compiling /sys/src/ip/ppp (as mentioned in archives
info for PAP support), I tried the following

mod=modemcmd (ATS7=45S0=0L1V1&c1E1Q0)
user=myself@domain
pass=xxxxxx

ip/ppp -t $mod -s $host:$user:$pass -uf -p '#t/eia1' -b115200      <-- A
Connect to fiel system, type ctrl-d when done.
...
atdt0
OK
atdt0,7776666^M
(it goes thru dial but no response from the other end..)
BUSY
(has to be killed to get the prompt back)

I have also tried $user:$pass combination in line A but had no success.
Any pointers?

My ignorance. I just dialed out by hand using

telco /dev/eia1
con -l telco!7776666

can log in and I get a connection saying
...
This connection is limited to 6 hours. PPP session from (a.b.c.d)..
(garbage characters start..)

What is the next step from Plan9 side to start ppp client and use
telnet/ftpfs? 

ip/ping w.x.y.z
and
telnet w.x.y.z
do time out

Can you give us an idea of what it's like?

Given your string:

	host:--host:ppp ogin:$user word:$pass

you aren't using pap but instead logging into the server
at the other end.  You need to login by hand with plan 9,
I never did finish doing the script stuff for dialins, I
got distracted by the new 9P protocol.

If you get nowhere after the atdt something else is
wrong.  What's the '0,' for on the atdt?
