Requirements:

• /usr/sbin/pppd and ppp support by the kernel
• /usr/sbin/chat is used to talk to the modem
• Linux-compatible modem linked to /dev/modem

Legend :
56kbs modem pool - specific configuration (254-5600)
culow 14.4kbs (254-7000) / cuhigh 28.8kbs (254-6000) - specific configuration

Instructions:

• tar -xzvf cuppp.tar.gz ; cd cuppp
• su # if you're not aready root
• ./install.sh

  cuhighdial # or
  cudialup
• tail -f /var/log/chat # monitors modem communication with the servers.

• ppp-off # is a script included with some distributions to deactivate a running ppp link. Otherwise,
  killall pppd
  may also work.
