Changes to floppyfw 1.0.12.3-pppoe image for use with dial on demand ppp
(modem / ISDN).

Changes you have to make in /config:

Change OUTSIDE_DEV variable
OUTSIDE_DEV=ppp0

Set user name and password for your dial up account:
USER_IDENT=<my_user_name>
USER_PASSWORD=<my_password>

Change INSIDE_DEV variable
INSIDE_DEV=eth0

You must set name servers. Use your ISP's name servers.
NAME_SERVER_IP1=<your_isp_primary_dns>
NAME_SERVER_IP2=<your_isp_secondary_dns>


Changes you have to make in /packages/ppp-up.ini:

Change CONNECT_TYPE variable
CONNECT_TYPE=PPP

If you're using a fast modem (such as ISDN) you should change this variable:
PORT_SPEED=115200

Set ISP telephone number:
TELEPHONE=<your_isp_telephone_number>

At line 119, set the idle parameter to suit your needs. The default is 600
seconds. That's a bit much for my taste. So I change it to 120 seconds (two
minutes).
echo "idle 120"           >> /etc/ppp/options.ppp

At line 128, insert a new line (before the comment):
echo "user        ${USER_IDENT}"  >> /etc/ppp/options.ppp

Comment out line 140 and 141 like this:
#      echo "ogin:--ogin:       ${USER_IDENT}"    >> /etc/ppp/options.chat
#      echo "assword:   ${USER_PASSWORD}"         >> /etc/ppp/options.chat

Comment out line 149 and 156 like this:
#   if test "${USEPEERDNS}" = "no" ; then
      echo "Setting up name server (etc/resolv.conf) "
      echo "#These next 4 entries created by $0" >> /etc/resolv.conf
      echo "domain ${DOMAIN}" >> /etc/resolv.conf
      echo "search ${DOMAIN}" >> /etc/resolv.conf
      echo "nameserver ${NAME_SERVER_IP1}" >> /etc/resolv.conf
      echo "nameserver ${NAME_SERVER_IP2}" >> /etc/resolv.conf
#   fi


That's it!
