Configuring Remote Hosts for Dialing

If you configured your modems to accept calls initiated by remote hosts only, you do not need to enter any remote host information.

1. Enter the name of the remote host.

   This is the name that will be used to identify the remote host for outgoing calls. You can choose any text string as the name of a remote host.

   Name of the remote host: odyssey

2. Enter the telephone number that will be used to initiate calls to this remote host.

   Phone number for this host: 1234567890

3. Enter the name of file that contains the CHAT (or connect) script used to initiate calls to this remote host.

   The CHAT script defines the dialog used to login the remote host, including the login id and the login password sent by the local host. This dialog is dependent on the operating system running on the remote host.

   Filename of the chat script: odyssey.chat

   If the file you specify does not exist, the script can create a template file for making Unix connections in the directory /etc/opt/SUNWconn/ppp/script. You may need to edit this template if you are connecting to a remote host running another operating system.

   The file you specified does not exist. This script can create a template file, with default parameters for connecting to Unix systems. Do you want to do this now? [y] y

   Enter the login id that your machine will send to the remote host to initiate a call. There must be a corresponding user account created on the remote host. The login id must be eight characters or less.

   Login id sent to odyssey (up to 8 characters): ppp0

   Enter the password that your machine will send with the login id. Type it again to confirm. The password you type is not displayed on the screen.

   Password: Re-enter Password:

4. Indicate if you want to use a specific modem for making calls to this remote host.

   Type n if you have only one modem, or if you want to be able to use any modem to call this remote host. If you type y in response to this question, the script will list the modems and modem pools you configured earlier. Enter the name of the modem or modem pool you want to use to call this remote host.

   Do you want to set a specific pool or modem for this host [n]:

5. Confirm the configuration of your remote host.

   The script displays the choices you selected. Type y to add this host to the configuration file.

6. Repeat the previous steps until you have defined all the remote hosts to which your machine will initiate calls.
