Installing and Administering PPP

SLIP to PPP Migration
Migration Examples
After migration, the dialout PPP connection is defined in
/etc/ppp/Devices by:
hayes cul1b1 9600
/etc/ppp/Autostart. The /etc/ppp/Autostart entry for the dialout
PPP connection is:
pppd ewok:keywest auto idle 350
Case 2: Direct SLIP Connection without
UUCP System Name
This type of connection is represented by an entry in
/etc/ppl/ppl.remotes by type=DIRECT, modem_control=NO and no
uucp_system name. The migration task involves creating an entry in
both /etc/ppp/Systems and /etc/ppp/Devices using information
from /etc/ppl/ppl.remotes and /etc/uucp/Devices.
SLIP Configuration
/etc/ppl/ppl.remotes. The direct SLIP connection without a UUCP
system name is defined in /etc/ppl/ppl.remotes by the following:
keywest # remote hostname or IP address
ewok # local hostname or IP address
# Internet mask
SLIP # protocol [SLIP] [ASLIPC] [ASLIPS]
[PPP] [CSLIPA] [CSLIP]
DIRECT # type [DIRECT] [DIALIN]
[DIALOUT] [DIALIN & DIALOUT]
# UUCP system name
/etc/ppp/Devices /etc/uucp/Devices
dialer dialer_token (hayes)
device device_file (cul1b1)
speed speed (9600)
