Ingvaldur,

Did you get this working? I am interested in your problem. I am up well past my bed time, so I can't do much research on NT's RAS right now.

No, I did not. But I'm gonna spend some time investigating in this. I think getting the source for the NT RAS Router and NT RAS Dialer would be the best thing but then I would have to sue Microsoft and that would take several years. There are several protocols in action when the connection is made, amongst others: IPCP, LCP, PAP, CCP. It would be nice to know where. Maybe I install the sniffer program which comes with the NT SMS package. That sniffer shows everything on a NT Network, and that is one reason why it's totally forbidden within Microsoft (at least on the corporate network). Some guy's here at MS Sweden installed the sniffer here , and in a short time a call came from the US HQ, and they where told they were doing something illegal. The sniffer was instantly shut down and removed.

I sent this to my boss who is a die-hard NT fan. His respones was "tell the little twit to RTFM." Well my opinion is, we are better than that here. So let's see if we can get this thing working. You can tell you little boss (NT sucker... etc. ;) that it isn't in the manuals, neither is it in the Resource Kit for NT [Workstation|Server] Thats the way it usually is from M$. Ask you tiny little boss if he(she!) knows of any undocumentet functions in the Win32 API, or in MFC...

Please inform me if you make any progress on this. regards - Ingvaldur

Hi,

I have a NT RAS Server at work with callback enabled. So when I make a connection to my work with my NT Workstation, the NT RAS server recognises me and gives me an oppurtunity to be called back (yes I can enter any phone number I want, default is my home). And then the line is hung up and the RAS Server calls my NT where the RAS Dialer is waiting for a call.

I would love to have the same functionality for my Linux box. Has anyone made that kind of configuration.

I know that my RAS Server is using PPP and that it does not prompt for login/password.

I do not know how the RAS client and RAS Server agree's that a callback should be made, maybe in the LCP, maybe something else, please tell me.

The RAS Server allows authentication in clear text. I dont know if that means that the RAS Server uses MS CHAP / PAP authentication, please inform me about that one to.

I have Suse 5.2, Kernel 2.0.34, PPPD 2.3 patch 5 (without MS CHAP enabled). I used KPPP (from KDE 1.0) to call into the RAS Server with PAP authentication, but no callback. There is a mgetty for the modem (I think).

Telephone bills will pile up If I dont get this callback working. The alterntiv is to stick with my NT Workstation as my primary workstation but then I'll miss all the fun...

Please advise.
