## Setting up userppp to use PAP or CHAP
## Greg Munker <submental40@hotmail.com>

So now you want to setup User PPP, I am sorry but this issue all I was
able to to write about was setting up the PAPorCHAP script.  Next issue I
will write up a better one, explaining the whole User PPP setup I am sorry
that I couldn't this issue

Here I am going to make it as easy as it is going to be for you.  The 
first thing you will have to do is:

Note:  All of this must be done as root

	$ cd /etc/ppp 

Next you will have to edit your "ppp.conf" file to setup your script.

	$ ee ppp.conf
      
I have setup an example of what the "ppp.conf" file looks like, and gave
explainations  on what you are going to have to edit and why.

Example ppp.conf

Default settings:

	-Default setup.  Always executed when PPP is invoked.
	-This section is *not* loaded by the ``load'' or ``dial'' commands.
	-This is the best place to specify your modem device.
		-Example: Com1 = /dev/cuaa0
		-Example: Com2 = /dev/cuaa1
		-Example: Com3 = /dev/cuaa2
		-Example: Com4 = /dev/cuaa3     
	-Logging specification.  Logging specs should be done first so
		that subsequent commands are logged.
	-The rest is all pre-set for you.  You should leave this alone.
	
default:
 set log Phase Chat Connect Carrier LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set device /dev/cuaa1
 set speed 115200
 deny lqr
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"

From there you will scroll down to the section where it says PAPorCHAPsite.
Here we will set up your script to so you can have a basic connection to
your Local ISP. 

PAPorCHAP Setup

	-If you choose not to use a Unix-style Login, you will have to 
		set-up a PAPorCHAP script.

	*Note, the peer suggests whether we should send PAP or CHAP.  By
		default, we send whatever we're asked for.*

	-The First line, "set phone" here you set the phone number that
		you will dial to connect to your local ISP.

	-The second line is "set login" This is not normally require that
		you log into the server so, if you are using PAPorCHAP.
		You must therefore disable your "set login" string.  Leave
		it alone.

	-The next two lines "set authname" and "set authkey" are your
		username and passwd for the connection to your ISP.

	-Next is "set timeout" which tells your computer how long to wait
		for a connection to your ISP, if one does not exist
		within the given time.

			-Example: set timeout 120 (120 seconds, this is
			setup to run in seconds.)  Your Computer will
			disconnect.

	-"set ifaddr" This is a little tricky, but i will explain as good
		as possible.

			My example is "set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0"
			This is setup for a Dynamic IP. You can also use
			this for Static IP.  That will all be explained. 

	-First you have "10.0.0.1/0"  This is for your IP, if you set this
		to a certain IP your computer will not connect unless it
		is able to have that IP. The "10.0.0.1/0" is for a Dynamic
		IP.  The "/0" bit says that we insist on 0 bits of the
		specified IP actually being correct, therefore, the other
		side can assign any IP numbers.  Which in simple terms
		means, it will assign you a Dynamic IP.

	-The "10.0.0.2/0" is for the Gateway IP to your ISP, in my
		example it is set for a Dynamic Gateway IP.  Make sure
		your ISP does not have a Gateway for you, because if they
		do then you "must" enter it in here, with out that you
		will not be able to connect, but if they say they have no
		Gateway IP for you, then just leave it as is.
	 
PAPorCHAPsite:
 set phone 5555555
 set login 
 set authname MyName
 set authkey MyKey
 set timeout 120
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
 delete ALL
 add 0 0 HISADDR

If you have any questions about the PAPorCHAP, or any other sections in
the User PPP setup, just email me at dog@submental.com and I will 
reply to you as soon as possible.
