Dialing Information

Each remote server is identified by the keyword remote_host. For example:

remote_host	 miles
	phone_number 	123456789
	chat_script  	miles.scr

The most common keywords that may appear in this part of your link configuration file are:

remote_host name

Indicates the start of a remote host definition, and associates it with one of the paths defined in the PPP path configuration file (ppp.conf).

phone_number number

Specifies the telephone number used to call the remote host. This can be an extension number if the call is within the same private branch exchange, and must include any special digits required to pass outside a private branch exchange. The telephone number can consist of digits and characters, including special characters such as # and *. A dummy telephone number is assigned for null modem configurations.

chat_script filename

Specifies the name of the file that contains the CHAT script for this connection. By default, the connect scripts for remote hosts are located in the directory /etc/opt/SUNWconn/ppp/script.
