From: "Michael W Cocke" <cocke@catherders.com> Since SuSE 10 cannot properly suspend to disk on a T22 (this would be a lot easier if it did!), I have to go to windows on the dialin machine - does anyone know the setup for pppd to answer/connect & authenticate from an XP caller?

I copied and saved this from somewhere. I have a Suse 9 box that I use for dialin access from XP. This should work. 1. Install Mgetty 2. Edit the /etc/inittab and add these txt below all the txt S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -s 57600 /dev/ttyS0 # the modem was using COM1 3. Edit your /etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config ... add the txt below, this is what i am using speed 57600 modem-type auto modem-check-time 1800 init-chat "" AT&F1M0 # this is what ie used with my Modem, it could be different #with other modem port ttyS0 debug 4 4. edit the /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config #---- Ive just commented out the default below /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login debug 5.
