pppd call isdn/providername
The connection scripts with the login name, password, and phone number are located in the directory:
/etc/ppp/peers/isdn/
This directory also contains some pre-built scripts. If your provider is not included in them, make a copy with the following command:
cp /etc/ppp/peers/isdn/arcor /etc/ppp/peers/isdn/providername
Use an ASCII editor of your choice to adapt the following lines of the script copy:
In the line "user", enter the login or user name you use for the Internet connection with your provider. The line "password" includes the password to use with your provider, and the line "number" must contain your provider's phone number.
In addition, append the following line to this script file in order to detect your provider's name server when setting up the connection:
usepeerdns
Without this entry, you will of course set up a connection to your provider, but you will not be able to resolve symbolic names such as, for example, www.suse.de. In this case, your Internet browser typically displays that the requested computer is not reachable.
Once you have saved the modifications in the script file, you can launch a connection to the Internet with the command mentioned above and terminate it again with the key combination CTRL+C.
/etc/ppp/peers/t-dsl
Edit the following lines of this script file with an ASCII editor:
The connection identifier, T-Online number and, if necessary, the co-user(s) identifier(s) in the line "user" must match the information sent to you by T-Online. Please note that backslash characters "\" preceding the "#" signs should always remain!
Enter your T-Online password in the line "password".
Append the following line to this script file in order to detect the provider's name server when setting up the connection:
usepeerdns
Without this entry, you will of course set up a connection to your provider, but you will not be able to resolve symbolic names such as, for example, www.suse.de. In this case, you Internet browser typically displays that the requested computer is not reachable.
Once you have saved the modifications in this script file, you can establish a connection to the Internet with the command:
pppd call t-dsl
and terminate it again with the key combination CTRL+C.
If you use a different provider for the ADSL connection, just adapt the lines "user" and "password" to your ISP's data and use the same commands to set up and shut down a connection.
