Paquetage "ppp"


PPP (Point to Point Protocol) pro Linux

The ppp package contains the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) daemon, pppd, additional ppp utilities, documentation and sample files.

PPP provides a method for transmitting IP and IPX datagrams over serial point-to-point links, for example over modem links.

The PPP daemon handles the details of setting up a PPP link including configuring the network interface and performing the PPP negotiations.

PPP requires a PPP driver in the kernel, either compiled in or loaded as a module.

The package wvdial helps you with the configuration of PPP. You can find it in YaST, in the package installations, series n, but it should be already installed per default.

Simply start it from YaST, "System administration ->", "Network configuration ->" and "Configure a PPP network ->".

You can call it from the command line also with "wvdial.lxdialog". After you have configured wvdial, simply call "wvdial" and you will be connected.
