Hi all, As a user of of Devil Linux for the past 6 months, I need to change the set-up of how our unit connects to the Internet. Currently it is connected to through a bridged adsl line, but I need to implement a ppp / 56kbps modem if the bridged line goes down. Does Devil Linux support ppp through a modem, if so, what steps are required to set it up? All I can find in the documentation is how to set-up pppoe or through a lan.

Hi Jasmine, you're a Devil-Linux user since the early beginning. :-)) Jasmine Davis wrote: >Does Devil Linux support ppp through a modem, if so, what steps are required >to set it up?

Here is a howto which should help you: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/ If you need any additional programs, just write it here and I put it on the list. Of course, for our honored "old" members, we'll increase the priority of this request. ;-) If you do any corrections to the system or enhancement, I would appreciate it when you send them to me. -- cu Heiko http://www.devil-linux.org |

Hi Heiko Just out of curiosity, I checked the actual version we started using, it is 0.4-4 & it is still in use today. I have yet to implement any later versions as the 0.4-4 seems to work perfectly as an ADSL bridge with firewall. All the servers that carry the Internet services are behind it. It is run on an old P1 233 with 128Mb SDRAM & it just keeps on going. I really congratulate you on this great little version of Linux.
