<para>
Configuring your modem and pppd to use a 2 wire twisted pair leased
line.
</para>
1.2. What is a leased line
<para>
Any fixed, that is permanent, point to point data communications link,
which is leased from a telco or similar organisation. The leased line
involves cables, such as twisted pair, coax or fiber optic, and may
involve all sorts of other hardware such as (pupin) coils,
transformers, amplifiers and regenerators.
</para>
<para>
This document deals with:
Configuring your modem and pppd to use a 2 wire twisted pair
leased line.
</para>
<para>
This document does NOT deal with:
SLIP, getting or installing pppd, synchronous data
communication, baseband modems, xDSL.
</para>
1.3. Assumptions
<para>
You should already have a working pppd on your system. You also need
Minicom or a similar program to configure your modems.
</para>
2. Modem
<para>
A leased line is not connected to a telephone exchange and does not
provide DC power, dial tone, busy tone or ring signal. This means that
your modems are on their own and have to be able to deal with this
situation.
</para>
<para>
You should have 2 identical (including firmware version) external
modems supporting both leased line and dumb mode. Make sure your
modems can actually do this! Also make sure your modem is properly
documented. You also need:
</para>
· 2 fully wired shielded RS232 cables. The shield should be connected
to the connector shell (not pin 1) at both ends (not at one end).
· A RS232 test plug may be handy for test purposes.
· 2 RJ11 cords, one for each end of the leased line.
· A basic understanding of `AT' commands.
2.1. Modem Configuration
<para>
A note on modem configuration and init strings in general: Configure
your modem software such as minicom or (m)getty to use the highest
possible speed; 57600 bps for 14k4 and 115200 bps for 28k8 or faster
modems. Lots of people use very long and complicated init strings,
often starting with AT&F and containing lots of modem brand and -type
specific commands. This however is needlessly complicated. Most
programs feel happy with the same modem settings, so why not write
these settings in the non volatile memory of all your modems, and only
use `ATZ' as an init string in all your programs. This way you can
swap or upgrade your modems without ever having to reconfigure any of
your software.
</para>
<para>
Most programs require you to use the following settings;
</para>
· Fixed baud rate (no auto baud)
· Hardware bidirectional RTS-CTS flow control (no x-on/x-off)
· 8 Bits, no parity, 1 stopbit
· The modem should produce the TRUE DCD status (&C1)
· The modem should NOT ignore the DTR status (&D2 or &D3)
<para>
Check this with AT&V or AT&Ix (consult your modem documentation)
</para>
<para>
These settings are not necessarily the same as the default factory
profile (&F), so starting an init string with AT&F is probably not a
good idea in the first place. The smart thing to do is probably to use
AT&F only when you have reason to believe that the modem setup stored
in the non volatile memory is really screwed up. If you think you
have found the right setup for your modems, write it to non volatile
memory with AT&W and test it thoroughly with Z-modem file transfers of
both ASCII text and binary files. Only if all of this works perfectly
should you configure your modems for leased line.
</para>
<para>
Find out how to put your modem into dumb mode and, more importantly,
how to get it out of dumb mode; The modem can only be reconfigured
when it is not in dumb mode. Make sure you actually configure your
modems at the highest possible speed. Once in dumb mode it will
ignore all `AT' commands and consequently will not adjust its speed to
that of the COM port, but will use the speed at which it was
configured instead (this speed is stored in a S-register by the AT&W
command).
</para>
<para>
Now configure your modem as follows;
</para>
· Reset on DTR toggle (&D3, this is sometimes a S register). This
setting is required by some ISP's!
· Leased line mode (&L1 or &L2, consult your modem documentation)
· The remote modem auto answer (S0=1), the local originate (S0=0)
· Disable result codes (Q1, sometimes the dumb mode does this for
you)
· Dumb mode (\D1 or %D1, this is sometimes a jumper) In dumb mode the
modem will ignore all AT commands (sometimes you need to disable
the ESC char as well).
<para>
Write the configuration to non-volatile memory (&W).
</para>
2.2. Test
<para>
Now connect the modems to 2 computers using the RS232 cables and
connect the modems to each other using a RJ11 lead. Use a modem
program such as Minicom (Linux), procom or telix (DOS) on both
computers to test the modems. You should be able to type text from
one computer to the other and vice versa. If the screen produces
garbage check your COM port speed and other settings. Now disconnect
and reconnect the RJ11 cord. Wait for the connection to reestablish
itself. Disconnect and reconnect the RS232 cables, switch the modems
on and off, stop and restart Minicom. The modems should always
reconnect at the highest possible speed (some modems have speed
indicator leds). Check whether the modems actually ignores the ESC
(+++) character. If necessary disable the ESC character.
</para>
<para>
If all of this works you may want to reconfigure your modems; Switch
off the sound at the remote modem (M0) and put the local modem at low
volume (L1).

<para>
Due to a firmware bug, the modems will only connect after being hard
reset (power off and on) while DTR is high. I designed a circuit which
hard resets the modem on the low to high transition of DTR. The
FreeBSD pppd however, isn't very happy about this. By combining the
setting &D0 with a circuit which resets on the high to low transition
instead, this problem can be avoided.

2.3.4. US Robotics Courier V-Everything
<para>
The USR Sportster and USR Courier-I do not support leased line. You
need the Courier V-everything version for this job. There is a
webpage on the USR site `explaining' how to set-up your Courier for
leased line. However, if you follow these instructions you will end up
with a completely brain dead modem, which can not be controlled or
monitored by your pppd.
</para>
<para>
The USR Courier can be configured with dip switches, however you need
to feed it the config string first. First make sure it uses the right
factory profile. Unlike most other modems it has three; &F0, &F1 and
&F2. The default, which is also the one you should use, is &F1. If you
send it an AT&F, however it will load the factory profile &F0! For
the reset on DTR toggle you set bit 0 of S register 13. This means you
have to set S13 to 1. Furthermore you need set it to leased line mode
with &L1; ATS13=1&L1&W The dip switches are all default except for the
following:

3 OFF Disable result codes

5 ON For originate, OFF For answer
8 OFF Dumb mode
3. PPPD
You need a pppd (Point to Point Protocol Daemon) and a reasonable
knowledge of how it works. Consult the relevant RFC's or the Linux PPP
HOWTO if necessary. Since you are not going to use a login procedure,
you don't use (m)getty and you do not need a (fake) user associated
with the pppd controlling your link. You are not going to dial so you
don't need any chat scripts either. In fact, the modem circuit and
configuration you have just build, are rather like a fully wired null
modem cable. This means you have to configure your pppd the same way
as you would with a null modem cable.
For a reliable link, your setup should meet the following criteria;
· Shortly after booting your system, pppd should raise the DTR signal
in your RS232 port, wait for DCD to go up, and negotiate the link.
· If the remote system is down, pppd should wait until it is up
again.
· If the link is up and then goes down, pppd should reset the modem
(it does this by dropping and then raising DTR), and then try to
reconnect.
· If the quality of the link deteriorates too much, pppd should reset
the modem and then reestablish the link.
· If the process controlling the link, that is the pppd, dies, a
watchdog should restart the pppd.
3.1. Configuration
Suppose the modem is connected to COM2, the local IP address is
`Loc_Ip' and the remote IP address is `Rem_Ip'. We want to use 576 as
our MTU. The /etc/ppp/options.ttyS1 would now be:
crtscts
mru 576
mtu 576
passive
Loc_Ip:Rem_Ip
-chap
modem
#noauth
-pap
persist
Stuff like `asyncmap 0', `lock', `modem' and `-detach' are probably
already in /etc/ppp/options. If not, add them to your
/etc/ppp/options.ttyS1. So, if the local system is 192.168.1.1 and
the remote system is 10.1.1.1, then /etc/ppp/options.ttyS1 on the
local system would be:
crtscts
mru 576
mtu 576
passive
192.168.1.1:10.1.1.1
-chap
modem
#noauth
-pap
persist
The options.ttyS1 on the remote system would be:
crtscts
mru 576
mtu 576
passive
10.1.1.1:192.168.1.1
-chap
modem
#noauth
-pap
persist
The passive option limits the number of (re)connection attempts. The
persist option will keep pppd alive in case of a disconnect or when it
can't connect in the first place. If you telnet a lot while doing
filetransfers (FTP or webbrowsing) at the same time, you might want to
use a smaller MTU and MRU such as 296. This will make the remote sys­
tem more responsive. If you don't care much about telnetting during
FTP, you could set the MTU and MRU to 1500. Keep in mind though, that
UDP cannot be fragmented. Speakfreely for instance uses 512 byte UDP
packets. So the minimum MTU for speakfreely is 552 bytes. The noauth
option may be necessary with some newer distributions.
3.2. Scripts
3.2.1. Starting the pppd and keeping it alive
You could start the pppd form a boot (rc) script. However, if you do
this, and the pppd dies, you are without a link. A more stable
solution, is to start the pppd from /etc/inittab;
s1:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 115200
This way, the pppd will be restarted if it dies. Make sure you have a
`-detach' option (nodetach on newer systems) though, otherwise inittab
will start numerous instances of pppd, will complaining about
`respawning too fast'.
Note: Some older systems will not accept the speed `115200'. In this
case you will have to set the speed to 38400 en set the `spd_vhi' flag
with setserial. Some systems expect you to use a `cua' instead of
`ttyS' device.
3.2.2. Setting the routes
The default route can be set with the defaultroute option or with the
/etc/ppp/ip-up script;
#!/bin/bash
case $2 in
/dev/ttyS1)
/sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw Rem_Ip netmask 0.0.0.0
;;
esac
Ip-up can also be used to sync your clock using netdate.
Of course the route set in ip-up is not necessarily the default route.
Your ip-up sets the route to the remote network while the ip-up script
on the remote system sets the route to your network. If your network
is 192.168.1.0 and your ppp interface 192.168.1.1, the ip-up script on
the remote machine looks like this;
#!/bin/bash
case $2 in
<para>
3 OFF Disable result codes
4 ON Disable offline commands
5 ON For originate, OFF For answer
8 OFF Dumb mode
</para>
3. PPPD

Minicom using one speed and then configure the pppd to use an other.
This will NOT work! You have to use the same speed all of the time!

<title>PLIP</title>
<para>
7.2. PLIP for Linux-2.0
PLIP device names are `plip0', `plip1 and plip2.
Kernel Compile Options:
Network device support --->
<*> PLIP (parallel port) support
plip (Parallel Line IP), is like SLIP, in that it is used for
providing a point to point network connection between two machines,
except that it is designed to use the parallel printer ports on your
machine instead of the serial ports (a cabling diagram in included in
the cabling diagram section later in this document). Because it is
possible to transfer more than one bit at a time with a parallel port,
it is possible to attain higher speeds with the plip interface than
with a standard serial device. In addition, even the simplest of
parallel ports, printer ports, can be used in lieu of you having to
purchase comparatively expensive 16550AFN UART's for your serial
ports. PLIP uses a lot of CPU compared to a serial link and is most
certainly not a good option if you can obtain some cheap ethernet
cards, but it will work when nothing else is available and will work
quite well. You should expect a data transfer rate of about 20
kilobytes per second when a link is running well.
The PLIP device drivers competes with the parallel device driver for
the parallel port hardware. If you wish to use both drivers then you
should compile them both as modules to ensure that you are able to
select which port you want to use for PLIP and which ports you want
for the printer driver. Refer to the ``Mudules mini-HOWTO'' for more
information on kernel module configuration.
Please note that some laptops use chipsets that will not work with
PLIP because they do not allow some combinations of signals that PLIP
relies on, that printers don't use.
The Linux plip interface is compatible with the Crynwyr Packet Driver
PLIP and this will mean that you can connect your Linux machine to a
DOS machine running any other sort of tcp/ip software via plip.
In the 2.0.* series kernel the plip devices are mapped to i/o port and
IRQ as follows:
device i/o IRQ
------ ----- ---
plip0 0x3bc 5
plip1 0x378 7
plip2 0x278 2
If your parallel ports don't match any of the above combinations then
you can change the IRQ of a port using the ifconfig command using the
`irq' parameter (be sure to enable IRQ's on your printer ports in your
ROM BIOS if it supports this option). As an alternative, you can
specify ``io='' annd ``irq='' options on the insmod command line, if
you use modules. For example:
root# insmod plip.o io=0x288 irq=5
PLIP operation is controlled by two timeouts, whose default values are
probably ok in most cases. You will probably need to increase them if
you have an especially slow computer, in which case the timers to
increase are actually on the other computer. A program called
plipconfig exists that allows you to change these timer settings
without recompiling your kernel. It is supplied with many Linux
distributions.
To configure a plip interface, you will need to invoke the following
commands (or add them to your initialization scripts):
root# /sbin/ifconfig plip1 localplip pointopoint remoteplip
root# /sbin/route add remoteplip plip1
Here, the port being used is the one at I/O address 0x378; localplip
amd remoteplip are the names or IP addresses used over the PLIP cable.
I personally keep them in my /etc/hosts database:
# plip entries
192.168.3.1 localplip
192.168.3.2 remoteplip
The pointopoint parameter has the same meaning as for SLIP, in that it
specifies the address of the machine at the other end of the link.
In almost all respects you can treat a plip interface as though it
were a SLIP interface, except that neither dip nor slattach need be,
nor can be, used.
Further information on PLIP may be obtained from the ``PLIP mini-
HOWTO''.
7.3. PLIP for Linux-2.2
During development of the 2.1 kernel versions, support for the
parallel port was changed to a better setup.
Kernel Compile Options:
General setup --->
[*] Parallel port support
Network device support --->
<*> PLIP (parallel port) support
The new code for PLIP behaves like the old one (use the same ifconfig
and route commands as in the previous section, but initialization of
the device is different due to the advanced parallel port support.
The ``first'' PLIP device is always called ``plip0'', where first is
the first device detected by the system, similarly to what happens for
Ethernet devices. The actual parallel port being used is one of the
available ports, as shown in /proc/parport. For example, if you have
only one parallel port, you'll only have a directory called
/proc/parport/0.
If your kernel didn't detect the IRQ number used by your port,
``insmod plip'' will fail; in this case just write the right number to
/proc/parport/0/irq and reinvoke insmod.
Complete information about parallel port management is available in
the file Documentation/parport.txt, part of your kernel sources.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.4. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other written
document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective
freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either
commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being
considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of
the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the
GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free
software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program
should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does.
But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any
textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a
printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose
is instruction or reference.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.5. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a notice
placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms
of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work.
Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document
or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or
translated into another language.
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the
Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or
authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related
matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall
subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics,
a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could
be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related
matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political
position regarding them.
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are
designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says
that the Document is released under this License.
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as
Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the
Document is released under this License.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the general
public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for
automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text
formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup
has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers
is not Transparent. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII
without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a
publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML designed for
human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary
formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML
or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available,
and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
purposes only.
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such
following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License
requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have
any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent
appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the
text.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.6. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially
or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and
the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced
in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of
this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the
reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you
may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large
enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may
publicly display copies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.7. COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, and
the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts:
Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.
Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of
these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of
the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the
covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as
they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be
treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you
should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual
cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more
than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along
with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a
publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the general
network-using public has access to download anonymously at no charge using
public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter option, you must
take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies
in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible
at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you
distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of
that edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them
a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.8. MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the
conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified
Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the
role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the
Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do
these things in the Modified Version:
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from
that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should,
if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You
may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
that version gives permission.
B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version,
together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all
of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified
Version, as the publisher.
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to
the other copyright notices.
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving
the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this
License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and
required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to it an
item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the
Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section
entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year,
authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then
add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous
sentence.
J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public
access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network
locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on.
These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network
location for a work that was published at least four years before the
Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to
gives permission.
K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", preserve the
section's title, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone
of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given
therein.
L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their
text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not
considered part of the section titles.
M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be
included in the Modified Version.
N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to conflict in
title with any Invariant Section.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that
qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the
Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as
invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in
the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any
other section titles.
You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing
but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example,
statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an
organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of
Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and
one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any
one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are
acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old
one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old
one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give
permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply
endorsement of any Modified Version.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.9. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions,
provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of
all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant
Sections of your combined work in its license notice.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple
identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are
multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make
the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in
parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if
known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section
titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" in the
various original documents, forming one section entitled "History"; likewise
combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled
"Dedications". You must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.10. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the
collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim
copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it
individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License
into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects
regarding verbatim copying of that document.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.11. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and
independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version of the
Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the compilation.
Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply
to the other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on account
of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative works of
the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of
the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter of the entire
aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that surround
only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers
around the whole aggregate.

1.4.12. TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute
translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing
Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their
copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant
Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections.
You may include a translation of this License provided that you also include
the original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
between the translation and the original English version of this License, the
original English version will prevail.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.13. TERMINATION
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as
expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically
terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.14. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU
Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address
new problems or concerns. See [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/] http://
www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any
later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has
been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the
Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose
any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

1.4.15. How to use this License for your documents
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the
License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices
just after the title page:
Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute
and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation
License, Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation; with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. A
copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free
Documentation License".
If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections" instead
of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no Front-Cover Texts, write
"no Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise
for Back-Cover Texts.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend
releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software
license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free
software.
