Internal error: no such thing as %s,

Enter the text of connect acknowledgement, if any. This string will be sent when the CONNECT string is received from the modem. Unless you know for sure that your ISP requires such an acknowledgement you should leave this as a null string: that is, ''.

Ack String

Enter the text of the login prompt. Chat will send your username in response. The most common prompts are login: and username:. Sometimes the first letter is capitalized and so we leave it off and match the rest of the word. Sometimes the colon is omitted. If you aren't sure, try ogin:.

Login Prompt

Enter the text of the password prompt. Chat will send your password in response. The most common prompt is password:. Sometimes the first letter is capitalized and so we leave it off and match the last part of the word.

Password Prompt

You probably do not need to put anything here. Enter any additional input your isp requires before you log in. If you need to make an entry, make the first entry the prompt you expect and the second the required response. Example: your isp sends 'Server:' and expect you to respond with 'trilobite'. You would put 'erver trilobite' (without the quotes) here. All entries must be separated by white space. You can have more than one expect-send pair.

Pre-Login

You probably do not need to change this. It is initially '' \d\c which tells chat to expect nothing, wait one second, and send nothing. This gives your isp time to get ppp started. If your isp requires any additional input after you have logged in you should put it here. This may be a program name like ppp as a response to a menu prompt. If you need to make an entry, make the first entry the prompt you expect and the second the required response. Example: your isp sends 'Protocol' and expect you to respond with 'ppp'. You would put 'otocol ppp' (without the quotes) here. Fields must be separated by white space. You can have more than one expect-send pair.

Post-Login

Enter the username given to you by your ISP.

User Name

Answer 'yes' to have the port your modem is on identified automatically. It will take several seconds to test each serial port. Answer 'no' if you would rather enter the serial port yourself

Choose Modem Config Method

Can't probe while pppd is running.

Probing %s

Below is a list of all the serial ports that appear to have hardware that can be used for ppp. One that seems to have a modem on it has been preselected. If no modem was found 'Manual' was preselected. To accept the preselection just hit TAB and then ENTER. Use the up and down arrow keys to move among the selections, and press the spacebar to select one. When you are finished, use TAB to select <OK> and ENTER to move on to the next item.

Select Modem Port

Enter the port by hand.

Enter the port your modem is on. /dev/ttyS0 is COM1 in DOS. /dev/ttyS1 is COM2 in DOS. /dev/ttyS2 is COM3 in DOS. /dev/ttyS3 is COM4 in DOS. /dev/ttyS1 is the most common. Note that this must be typed exactly as shown. Capitalization is important: ttyS1 is not the same as ttys1.

Manually Select Modem Port

Enabling default routing tells your system that the way to reach hosts to which it is not directly connected is via your ISP. This is almost certainly what you want. Use the up and down arrow keys to move among the selections, and press the spacebar to select one. When you are finished, use TAB to select <OK> and ENTER to move on to the next item.

Default Route

Enable default route

Disable default route

You almost certainly do not want to change this from the default value of noipdefault. This is not the place for your nameserver ip numbers. It is the place for your ip number if and only if your ISP has assigned you a static one. If you have been given only a local static ip, enter it with a colon at the end, like this: 192.168.1.2: If you have been given both a local and a remote ip, enter the local ip, a colon, and the remote ip, like this: 192.168.1.2:10.203.1.2

IP Numbers

Enter your modem port speed (e.g. 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200). I suggest that you leave it at 115200.

Speed

Enter modem initialization string. The default value is ATZ, which tells the modem to use it's default settings. As most modems are shipped from the factory with default settings that are appropriate for ppp, I suggest you not change this.

Modem Initialization

Select method of dialing. Since almost everyone has touch-tone, you should leave the dialing method set to tone unless you are sure you need pulse. Use the up and down arrow keys to move among the selections, and press the spacebar to select one. When you are finished, use TAB to select <OK> and ENTER to move on to the next item.

Pulse or Tone

Enter the number to dial. Don't include any dashes. See your modem manual if you need to do anything unusual like dialing through a PBX.

Phone Number

Enter the password your ISP gave you.

Password

Enter the name you wish to use to refer to this isp. You will probably want to give the default name of 'provider' to your primary isp. That way, you can dial it by just giving the command 'pon'. Give each additional isp a unique name. For example, you might call your employer 'theoffice' and your university 'theschool'. Then you can connect to your isp with 'pon', your office with 'pon theoffice', and your university with 'pon theschool'. Note: the name must contain no spaces.

Provider Name

This connection exists. Do you want to overwrite it?

Connection Exists

Finished configuring connection and writing changed files. The chat strings for connecting to the ISP are in /etc/chatscripts/%s, while the options for pppd are in /etc/ppp/peers/%s. You may edit these files by hand if you wish. You will now have an opportunity to exit the program, configure another connection, or revise this or another one.

Finished
