THAT'S the package that used the  pon/poff commands.  Memory begins to
fail...

Thanks for reviving it for the moment.

I'm no big Linux expert man,  but didn't pon/poff suffice? I seem to
remember setting that up once in about 5 minutes and using it until
modems went by the wayside.  Wvdial?  Confuse me more.  ;-]

That said, in the modern world wicd rocks.

You have to edit the pppd configuration files.  Pppconfig and Wvdial do
that for you.

What would be used as an alternative to wvdial?

I remember Roaring Penguin had a PPPoE implementation.  By the time I 
needed PPPoE, the Linux kernel had support for it.  I think it creates a 
pseudo network interface and serial interface, linking the two.  The 
traditional PPP daemon would interface with the serial, while the TCP/IP 
stack would work with the pseudo interface.  Something like that.  It's 
been a while.

> It arrived at the scene just as I was studying how to connect my

I remember using SLIP in the mid-to-late '90s to connect to what started 
as a BBS like creation on a Sun system.  You could start SLIP after 
connecting, and navigating a few menus.  In hindsight it was exiting the 
BBS interface and execing (?) the user space slip program.

After that, everything I did was PPP (over serial or Ethernet) or stock 
TCP/IP over Ethernet.  Admittedly it might have been Ethernet 
encapsulated as ATM (RFC 1483), Frame Relay (???), or Cable Modem.  But 
that was still bog standard Ethernet to the Linux machine.

"netmail", was that the email in FidoNet?  I seem to recall "echos" 
being the term for newsgroups.

I can think of a couple of people that still run BBSs, at least one of 
which still has a modem & phone line.  One of them also has a Usenet 
feed into the system.  I don't know if he's gatewaying into FidoNet or 
just having echos and Usenet available on his board.

Oddly I dont think I ever ran IP over a modem.

I went from UUCP  mail and usenet at work to BBS gateways over a modem 
at home, until at some point I got ISDN for IP which got replaced by 
ADSL when that became available.

Here a pseudo device ppp0 is created with my public IP address on it.

That's what I saw the last time I supported PPPoE.

It's a PPP connection, thus pseudo network device, that just happens to 
transmit over Ethernet instead of a serial modem.

It's a tunnel.  You have the overhead of PPP packets layered over by the
overhead of Ethernet packets (and often an ATM layer in the DSL modem).
Inefficient, but it allowed ISPs to switch from dialup to DSL with zero
changes to their RADIUS servers.

Yes, PPP is a tunnel.  But that doesn't change the fact that you have a 
pseudo (tunnel) interface to use.  ;-)

PPPoE via ATM PVC:  IP inside of PPP inside of Ethernet inside of ATM
PPPoA via ATM PVC:  IP inside of PPP inside of ATM
PPPoE via Frame Relay:  IP inside of PPP inside of Frame Relay

PPP<anything> is going to have the PPP overhead, and complications, e.g. 
MTU issues.

PPPoE also allows ISPs to authenticate clients.  Native IP over RFC 1483 
bridging doesn't support authentication.  This is especially germane if 
something strips the RFC 1483 bridging before traffic gets to the ISP's 
router, thus stripping any ATM PVC / Frame Relay DLCI identifiers.

Directly editing some files. I seem to recall something called chat that
would listen to the modem responses, send login/pass to the service...
names like "chap" or perhaps "pap". After login the ppp service was
started. I knew about it but didn't have to do it, wvdial arrived just
in time. It calls all the necessary pieces.

Yes, that is. But not usenet newsgroups, not directly. Just Fidonet
groups, that were called echos or perhaps echoareas. And we were given
addresses called "points".

I remember my sysop had a system where I could request the list of files
he hosted by sending perhaps a special "netmail". Then I could request
download of the files I wanted, to be downloaded on the next connection.
Maybe it was a standard, because I downloaded files from other nodes
directly. I think it was the Ralph Brown Interrupt List that I
downloaded from a node on the canary Islands - an expensive phone call
for me, but I needed that file.

I knew one that had the BBS on telnet.

Yes, gateways to usenet were common at the end, but usually we had to
pay the sysop a small quantity to help with the costs. Fidonet was
basically free, but nodes incurred in costs (phone calls and possibly a
data connection) and often requested help with them. I don't recall the
payment method... not credit card, certainly. Not here. Postal order,
probably.

CHAP and PAP are authentication protocols often used by ISPs.
Microsoft, of course, invented their own variant, MSCHAP.  Chat is a
sort of a special-purpose expect program for handling the modem
dialogue.

Doing it the hard way you had to edit the appropriate secrets file, a
pppd options file for each ISP, and a chatscript for each ISP.

Wvdial requires editing it's configuration file but it's fairly simple.
It tries to automate as much as possible and usually succeeds.  It has
to be run every time you connect and is somewhat limited in its options.
It has a companion modem discovery program.

Pppconfig uses an interactive dialogue with the user to collect the
information it needs to edit the above mentioned files, setting things
up so that pon and poff work.  It attempts to discover the modem.  It
tries to offer reasonable defaults where that makes sense.  It's quite
flexible: It handles just about anything you could achieve by manually
editing the files.  Dial-on-demand is an option.  You can re-run it to
make changes without having to re-enter everything (it will also respect
manual changes).

Pppconfig lacks an interactive testing mode.

I believe Slackware once had a much simpler script called pppconfig.

Limited? I found it quite rich :-)
There was also an autoconfiguration program.

There is Wvdialconf.  From the man page:

      wvdialconf detects your modem, its maximum baud rate, and a good
       initialization string and generates or updates the wvdial(1)
       configuration file based on this information.

       wvdialconf is completely non-interactive.  You still need to edit
       /etc/wvdial.conf to specify the phone number, login name, and
       password of your internet account in order for wvdial(1) to
       work.

I remember points.  My understanding is that they are a way to behave as 
a sub-node from an addressing perspective.  You could have an address on 
a board and / or an address of a point behind the board.

ACK

The SysOps and users would get together frequently (monthly) where I'm 
from.  I think it was common for people to take turns buying some SysOps 
pizza as a trade for them paying for services.  My understanding is that 
people were largely happy with the arrangement.

Hrumpfff!  Nobody ever bought me pizza.  I started out as a point, then as a 
node, picked up the /0 at the end.  We, 4 or 5 of us, met once a week for 
coffee.  We solved all the worlds problems.  Often someone would pickup the 
entire bill, sometime me.

Well, we used the same software as nodes, with a configuration a bit
different. It would not listen for the modem, it could not receive
independently, only connect with the authorized node. Oh, a point can
connect directly with another node not is own to send netmail directed
to it or its points. I don't remember how authentication was done. IF it
was done.

We were. We met I think twice, in my time there. Once for a lunch, and
another at a lunch plus an ultra-light flying club. But I was to afraid
to take a ride. A flight, I mean.

Our group said something about getting a lot of chicken on a Saturday.
Maybe they always went to a famous chicken restaurant :-)

Did we call that "meeting in vertical"? Or was that a saying of Radio
Amateurs?




WHAT?!  :-O

My laptop has just made a weird ugly noise through the speakers. It has
scared me, it is 3 AM. No idea what it was... probably Firefox has one
page loaded that did that. Which one? It is busy, 30% CPU. Maybe a news
page. Closed. CPU now close to zero. Oh, Chrome was open on another tab,
at the Amazon prime site. Closed too.

Uff.

I think there was auth for receiving, I don't recall there being any
for sending.

The phone company had a deal for fixed-price international calls one
weekend ($5 for 2 hours or someting like that  - down from $5 for 3
minutes), so I called up a BBS on the other side of the world for a
few hours to download stuff.

That should have been available closer to you, I fairly sure that one
made the programming file bone and, so, got wide disrtibution.

I could not locate it. Surely I polled some nodes for the list of files.
I don't remember how I located the file far away. Wait... was there a
search command on a message? Perhaps send a formatted message to certain
area?

I believe that the file was available closer, the next time I retrieved it.

When the monopoly of the Deutsche Telekom fell 1998 many small so called
"call-by-call" provider popped up. Some offering only fixed phone
service, others that combined with mobile and other also (or only)
offered internet dial-up service. Prices went up and down (mostly down)
and every company tried ti get a big piece of the pie. By dialing a
special "area code" you would then be billed by the company associated
with that area code.

I remember some new company obviously wanted to test their hardware and
offered the first hundred or so caller 24 hours for free. I think I used
wvdial at that and had it dial-in five seconds before 0:00. I succeeded
and nobody could call me that day because my single line was busy.
