FloppyFw 1.0.9 PPP Howto
------------------------

To use Floppyfw for a modem connection some settings must be made
in the CONFIG file and ppp-up.ini

Modify the CONFIG file

in the external section :

# EXTERNAL is a hook for booting a external startup script from a package.
# the external script has to be in /etc/ext-up.init
#
OUTSIDE_IP=EXTERNAL

in the next section you need to put you user id and password

# The external script can need you to add your username and password, as
# the PPPoE package does. This is where you can add that.
USER_IDENT=
USER_PASSWORD=


next you must tell floppyFw wich device will be use for the internet connection
here in our case it is ppp0

# ppp0 default device for ppp modem because eth0 needs to be the only one internal.
#
OUTSIDE_DEV=ppp0

not used so commented out

# Not nescessary to set these if you are using DHCP
#
#OUTSIDE_NETMASK=
#OUTSIDE_NETWORK=
#OUTSIDE_BROADCAST=

the name servers MUST be put here for this to work !!

# Misc
# These are not nescessary to set if you are using DHCP.
#
#DEFAULT_GATEWAY=
NAME_SERVER_IP1=212.100.160.51
NAME_SERVER_IP2=212.100.160.52
#DOMAIN=
#HOSTNAME=

Modify the ppp-up.ini file

CONNECT_TYPE=PPP

choose the port for your modem

ttyS0 = COM1
ttyS1 = COM2
ttyS2 = COM3
ttyS3 = COM4

SERIAL_PORT = ttyS0

specify the speed

PORT_SPEED = 115200

put the number to call

TELEPHONE = 

you have to remove the # symbol before /etc/ppp/ppp-start in the file ppp-up.ini

put pre-ppp.ini ppp-up.ini pppplus.bz2 in the /packages directory

that's it

ps:

if you got problems for connecting to your provider i use a lightly modified
options.ppp to enable pap connection

download pap_ppp-up.ini

in the pap_ppp-up.ini find the line starting with

echo "user your_login" >> /etc/ppp/options.ppp

replace your_login by your login to connect to your provider it must be
the same as the one mentionned in config for USER_IDENT

rename pap_ppp-up.ini to ppp-up.ini and replace it in the packages
directory
