From 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 15:20:36 -0700 Subject: Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

(e.g if you have no PPP or +CSLIP in the kernel) + +Using isdn4linux with sync PPP: +------------------------------- +Sync PPP is just another encapsulation for isdn4linux. The +name to enable sync PPP encapsulation is 'syncppp' .. e.g: + + /sbin/isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp + +The name of the interface is here 'ippp0'. You need +one interface with the name 'ippp0' to saturate the +ipppd, which checks the ppp version via this interface. +Currently, all devices must have the name ipppX where +'X' is a decimal value. + +To set up a PPP connection you need the ipppd .. You must start +the ipppd once after installing the modules. The ipppd +communicates with the isdn4linux link-level driver using the +/dev/ippp0 to /dev/ippp15 devices. One ipppd can handle +all devices at once. If you want to use two PPP connections +at the same time, you have to connect the ipppd to two +devices .. and so on. +I've implemented one additional option for the ipppd: + 'useifip' will get (if set to not 0.0.0.0) the IP address + for the negotiation from the attached network-interface. +(also: ipppd will try to negotiate pointopoint IP as remote IP) +You must disable BSD-compression, this implementation can't +handle compressed packets. + +Check the etc/rc.isdn.syncppp in the isdn4kernel-util package +for an example setup script. + +To use the MPPP stuff, you must configure a slave device +with isdn4linux.
