Info

Info from Package Maintainer tpowa

Please don't change the docu without notifiying me.
IMPORTANT:
These modules were built for the latest arch stock kernel 2.6
You have to rebuild the package for other kernels or have
to stay with the old kernel until a new package is provided.

Installation

You need the ltmodem package from the [extra] repository:

pacman -S ltmodem

Configuration

In your /etc/rc.conf: Add

ppp_generic ltmodem ltserial 

to the MODULES=() list.

Additional Notes

If pppd quits with an ERROR 1 just after connection, change

auth 

to

noauth

in /etc/ppp/options or use the call option (see the pppd manpage).

If you don't want to set the permissions of your modem you "can" set /usr/sbin/pppd setuid but this may be a security risk, you have been warned!!!
