HOWTO Iberpass and Linux
Iberpass is a global roaming service www.iberpass.com giving
access worldwide at the cost of a local phone call to internet services. It doesn't give you a dialer for Linux,
however, it is really an easy task to set up a Linux connection.
I'm running a Linux with pppd 2.4.1-10. The trick is very simple, you need to proper configure
your /etc/ppp/option file and connect with pap authentication. To connect I did the following steps:
- edit/create your /etc/ppp/option file, mine is something like this
- edit the ppp options file to reflect your account, notice thet the account has a prefix idm/IPASS/iber/. This work
for me you may just try or check with your account and a Win32 dialer. Notice the string is really case sensitive
- edit the chat-on-ipass to reflect
- your modem settings
- the local phone number (yes of course you can write a shell script
passing as parameter the phone number.
- create edit the pap configuration file pap-secrets on my machine /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
it should be something like:
| # client |
server |
secret |
IP addresses |
| * |

YourPasswd |

- run pppd
