ISDN (Europe. dial-up) POSTED to QUESTIONS and NET.

[Marcel Dijk]

Hello all,

I am trying to get ISDN4BSD to work, thusfar, no luck. I live in Europe. 
I use my ISDN adapter (Teles 16.3 ISA non-PnP) to  dial in to my ISP. 
But if I start ppp and dial I get all kind of error from isdnd wich I 
cannot understand.

This is my isdnd.rc:

# SYSTEM section: isdnd global configuration parameters
system
# accounting
acctall        = on            # generate info for everything
acctfile    = /var/log/isdnd.acct    # name & location of accounting file
useacctfile    = yes            # generate accouting info to file
isdntime = on
monitor-allowed    = no            # global switch: monitor on/off

I filled it in according to the example in /usr/share/examples/isdn.

And here is my ppp.conf

default:
 set phone ISP_NUMBER    # Replace this with your ISPs phone number
 set authname MY_USERNAME   # Replace these with your login name & password.
 set authkey MY_PASS    # This profile assumes you're using PAP or CHAP.
# set enddisc mac    # Assuming you have a LAN (dont have a LAN on the 
ISDN PC)
 enable lqr
 set reconnect 3 5
 set redial 3 10
 set lqrperiod 45
 disable pred1 deflate mppe
 deny pred1 deflate mppe
 set timeout 60 300    # The minimum charge period is 5 minutes, so don't
            # hangup before then
 # We have no chat scripts in the ISDN world (yet)
 set dial
 set login
 set logout
 set hangup

 set device /dev/i4brbch0 /dev/i4brbch1        # Raw B-channel devices
 set speed sync                    # ISDN is synchronous

 enable dns            # Ask the peer what to put in resolv.conf

 # Take a wild guess at an IP number and let the other side decide
 set ifaddr 172.16.0.1/0 212.0.0.0/0 0 0
 add! default hisaddr

# set mrru 1500                # Multilink mode please
 set mru 1504                # Room for the MP header

# clone 1,2                # Two new links
# link deflink rm            # And get rid of the original one

# link * set mode auto            # Automatically manage the second link
# set autoload 10 80 30            # Down @10% usage, up at 80%, 30s sample

 set server /var/run/ppp/ppp-isdn "" 0177 # The diagnostic port (-rw-------)

Also filled in according to the example.

I also have an alternative ppp.conf wich gives the same errors:


default:
 set device /dev/i4brbch0 /dev/i4brbch1   
 set speed sync
 set dial
 set logout
 set hangup

hetnet:
 set phone ISP_NUMBER    # Replace this with your ISPs phone number
 set login
 set authname THE_NAME    # Replace these with your login name & password.
 set authkey THE_PASS    # This profile assumes you're using PAP or CHAP.
 ifaddr 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR
 enable dns

# set enddisc mac    # Assuming you have a LAN
# enable lqr
# set reconnect 3 5
# set redial 3 10
# set lqrperiod 45
# disable pred1 deflate mppe
# deny pred1 deflate mppe

# set timeout 60 300    # The minimum charge period is 5 minutes, so don't
            # hangup before then

# enable dns            # Ask the peer what to put in resolv.conf

 # Take a wild guess at an IP number and let the other side decide
 #set ifaddr 172.16.0.1/0 212.0.0.0/0 0 0
 #add! default hisaddr

# set mrru 1500                # Multilink mode please
 #set mru 1504                # Room for the MP header

# clone 1,2                # Two new links
# link deflink rm            # And get rid of the original one

# link * set mode auto            # Automatically manage the second link
# set autoload 10 80 30            # Down @10% usage, up at 80%, 30s sample

# set server /var/run/ppp/ppp-isdn "" 0177 # The diagnostic port 
(-rw-------)

I can't give you the errors ISDND gives, I simply forgot them. It were 
unintelligable errors to me.

The errors came from isdnd, not from ppp.

Sorry for the mega e-mail but I thought I could best be as verbose as 
possible.

Hope someone can help.

Gr.

Marcel.
