Thanks a lot, David, for your extensive comments on redialing via request-route.

I got 2 further problems in this respect, were I hope for your ideas:

1) Problem using request-route: I managed to get your dial-on-demand-recipe (www.xnet.com/~efflandt/linux) via /sbin/request-route working only by using the obsolescent pppd-Option '+ua /etc/ppp/kla.secret' within request-route. When I delete this and put login and password into the chat.XXX -file instead, it will dial, but switch the modem off immediately after connection. /Var/log/messages will then say: ... pppd[599]: Serial line is looped back. ... pppd[599]: sent [LCP TermAck id=0x6] pppd[599]: rcvd [LCP TermAck id=0x6] pppd[599]: Connection terminated.

I cannot use two chat.xxx -Scripts this way ... Any thoughts ?

2) Linux-ppp-Server for Win95/NT4.0:

My ppp-server-setup according to www.xnet.com/~efflandt/linux/dialin.txt and SuSE's /usr/doc/support-db/sdb/ppp-server.html resulted in the following deadlock:

With LINUX-ppp-clients I can logon fine.

WinNT4.0 as a client will establish the ppp-connection as well. The windows DUN connect box as well as ifconfig on the linux server will show the ppp0 interface with the correct IP-addresses of the other maschine. However a ping on WinNT results only in timeouts, a ping on the linux server seems to hang. Nonetheless I can observe the WinNT client count

incoming bytes and the modem connection seems stable (although useless).

Due to another problem with Win95 (modem dialing only working via

As far as the part about dialing an NT server goes, I have a script that lets you log onto NT servers, like my own ISP. email me privatly and I will send it as an attatchment, its not a long script, and it should do what you need it to. the direct

ATDT commands in HYPERTERM but not via DUN), I could not yet test the situation using Win95 as client.

Does this stable but useless PPP-connection hint to any missing PPPD-Option on the server side ? Any ideas for diagnostics ?
