+This directory contains a port of ppp-2.3.11. The official site for
the original source for this PPP implementation is:
ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp
-NOTE: As of 11/30/1999, the current version of this source is 2.3.10.
-
-The port was performed by Tomasz Domin <dot@comarch.pl> of ComArch SA
-and has only been tested on the mpc823. The modem driver should
-work with minor modifications on other systems.
-=================================================================
-Some comments:
-
-+ "SetStatusInfo is a function which displays given message on
- bottom side of the screen."
-
- The issue of how to deal with SetStatusInfo in a generic, portable
- fashion is still open.
-
-+ "Dialer returns positive integer when an error occurs, and negative one
- which is parsed from modem aswer, when connection is done (for example
- -28000 if connection speed is 28000 baud ...)"
-
-+ PPP_User/PPP_Password
- "When this field is set, it is sent to the server when there is need
- to login ....
- When it is blank - it is using other method of authentification ... or
- none ...
- PPP_Password is also used in CHAT and PAP - because there is no
- configuration files in RTEMS ..."
-
- This falls into the general question of how to generally configure this.
-
-+ ConnectionStatus
-
- This is the method of synchronization between pppd task and others.
- ConnectionStatus field is set by pppd - when connection occurs it`s state
- is set to Connected. WantConnection is set by client application (and
- the appriopriate event is sent then) so pppd knows what user wants to do ...
-
-+ Around line 270 of main.c, there is code to change the default
- nameserver... why?
-
- Becouse in my application user can change it anytime ... - without need of
- rebooting the system
- When PPP connection is configured there is needed additional info about
- nameservers - PPP layer cant discover them itself
