How to use dial-up access with an XO.
Note: while it is possible, it is not part of the deployment plans, so do not treat this as a fault.
Components to Add
As of build ship.2-650 the following software components need to be added to gain dial-up access:
- kernel drivers for USB modems,
- PPP.
In addition, the following software components would be helpful:
- A user interface for configuring,
- A user interface for starting and stopping.
Option 1 - Augment
- Disable and remove Network Manager,
- Install the ppp package using yum,
- Manually configure PPP for on-demand dial-up per PPP documentation.
Option 2 - Debian GNU/Linux
- install Debian as an upgrade,
- apt-get install ppp pppconfig,
- run pppconfig.
