|
<P>
|
|
<P>This document shows some typical scenarios for easy start using
|
|
<EM>Diald</EM>.
|
|
These scenarios include a connection from a standalone computer to an ISP
|
|
using PPP over a modem without using <CODE>pon/poff</CODE> or
|
|
<CODE>ppp-on/ppp-off</CODE> to a proxy/firewall server with different Internet
|
|
connections through various ISPs.
|
|
<P>In the present document, the following scenarios will be treated:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Connecting a standalone computer to an ISP using a modem and PPP</LI>
|
|
<LI>Conecting a computer to a group of different ISPs with a modem and PPP</LI>
|
|
<LI>Connecting a proxy/firewall to an ISP using a modem and PPP</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>In following versions of this document, other scenarios will be added, as
|
|
multiple instances of <EM>Diald</EM>, ISDN lines and lines used to call and
|
|
receive calls.
|
|
<P>Before this document, a Diald-mini-Howto exist, wrote by Harish Pillay
|
|
<CODE>
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:h.pillay@ieee.org">h.pillay@ieee.org</A></CODE>, that presented and example of connection
|
|
to an ISP using a chat based authentication scheme (login and password
|
|
previous to the pppd start, with no use of PAP or CHAP).
|
|
<P>Example configuration files will be included in this document to serve as
|
|
starting point to get <EM>Diald</EM> up. To obtain maximum performance and all
|
|
programs attributes, it is necesary you read all documentation from the
|
|
programs and reconfigure the example configuration files included here.
|
|
<P>Finally, configuration files can be in different directories depending on
|
|
what GNU/Linux distribution you are using. If you find a file commented
|
|
here in other directory, please, write me.

<P>
|
|
<P>I want to be grateful to the people that help me to get my first
|
|
<EM>Diald</EM> up and running with their example files (somebody who's name i
|
|
forgot, Mr Cornish Rex, Hoo Kok Mun and John Dalbec), to the people that
|
|
have wrote me to send corrections and suggestions for this document (Tim
