1Some additional information for setting up a syncPPP
2connection using network interfaces.
3---------------------------------------------------------------
4
5You need one thing beside the isdn4linux package:
6
7 a patched pppd .. (I called it ipppd to show the difference)
8
9Compiling isdn4linux with sync PPP:
10-----------------------------------
11To compile isdn4linux with the sync PPP part, you have
12to answer the appropriate question when doing a "make config"
13Don't forget to load the slhc.o
14module before the isdn.o module, if VJ-compression support
15is not compiled into your kernel. (e.g if you have no PPP or
16CSLIP in the kernel)
17
18Using isdn4linux with sync PPP:
19-------------------------------
20Sync PPP is just another encapsulation for isdn4linux. The
21name to enable sync PPP encapsulation is 'syncppp' .. e.g:
22
23 /sbin/isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp
24
25The name of the interface is here 'ippp0'. You need
26one interface with the name 'ippp0' to saturate the
27ipppd, which checks the ppp version via this interface.
28Currently, all devices must have the name ipppX where
29'X' is a decimal value.
30
31To set up a PPP connection you need the ipppd .. You must start
32the ipppd once after installing the modules. The ipppd
33communicates with the isdn4linux link-level driver using the
34/dev/ippp0 to /dev/ippp15 devices. One ipppd can handle
35all devices at once. If you want to use two PPP connections
36at the same time, you have to connect the ipppd to two
37devices .. and so on.
38I've implemented one additional option for the ipppd:
39 'useifip' will get (if set to not 0.0.0.0) the IP address
40 for the negotiation from the attached network-interface.
41(also: ipppd will try to negotiate pointopoint IP as remote IP)
42You must disable BSD-compression, this implementation can't
43handle compressed packets.
44
45Check the etc/rc.isdn.syncppp in the isdn4kernel-util package
46for an example setup script.
47
48To use the MPPP stuff, you must configure a slave device
49with isdn4linux. Now call the ipppd with the '+mp' option.
50To increase the number of links, you must use the
51'addlink' option of the isdnctrl tool. (rc.isdn.syncppp.MPPP is
52an example script)
