Configuring Morningstar Software with SCO Unix to Connect to the Internet via LanDial 1. Morningstar's software will not operate unless you obtain and install a "license key" from Morningstar. Type the following commands: hostname; uname -X Send the output, along with your Morningstar 4-digit support number, via e-mail to support@morningstar.com, or via fax to 614 459 5054. Morningstar will provide you with a key, which you place in a specified file on a single line opposite your hostname (mode 600, owner root). 2. Install the software, per Morningstar's read.me file. 3. You should have a registered Class C network number (assigned by us if you do not currently have one). Configure the IP address of this host from your Class C network number. (We will assume that this host uses the .1 address for that network.) The IP address for your host is _____________________ 4. Configuration of Files: (a) cp /usr/lib/ppp/Dialers.ex /usr/lib/ppp/Dialers View /usr/lib/ppp/Dialers, determine which entry matches your modem and uncomment it. (b) cp /usr/lib/ppp/Systems.ex /usr/lib/ppp/Systems vi /usr/lib/ppp/Systems This is a chat script, similar to a uucp-style dialing and login procedure. Find the line that refers to the Lan-Dial service (it looks something like this): #42.42.42.42 Any ACU 38400 18005551212 in: LDxxxx word: \qPassword and change it as follows: change 42.42.42.42 to the IP address of the LanDial router at the POP in the city nearest you For ___________________, that IP address is _____________________. replace 18005551212 with the local POP phone number for the LanDial server: ________________________ LDxxxx is your login ID __________________ Password is your password (c) cp /usr/lib/ppp/Devices.ex /usr/lib/ppp/Devices vi /usr/lib/ppp/Devices Make an entry as follows: modem-type device speed modem-type is the entry determined in /usr/lib/ppp/Dialers device is the port you have the modem connected to. Normally, this would be tty1A (for example) speed is the modem DTE speed used in /usr/lib/ppp/Systems Sample entry: GENERIC tty1A 38400 (d) cp /usr/lib/ppp/Auth.ex /usr/lib/ppp/Auth vi /usr/lib/ppp/Auth Make an entry as follows. Make sure all other entries are commented out. LDxxxxx mypassword Where LDxxxxxx is your account name and mypassword is your password that goes with your account name. 5. Initiating a connection To start up the pppd daemon, do the command: pppd this-host-IP-address:ip-address-of-router auto up Note: ip-address-of-router is the IP address used in /usr/lib/ppp/Systems; this-host-IP-address is the one you configured in Step 3, above. The modem should dial immediately. Once the connection is established, you should be able to ping the ip-address-of-router. Then execute the command: route add default ip-address-of-router 1
