This directory contains a port of ppp-2.3.5. 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
