Configuring Morningstar Software with SunOS
		  to Connect to the Internet via LanDial


Use the /usr/local/src/ppp/README as a supplement to these instructions.

1. Morningstar's software will not operate unless you obtain and
install a "license key" from Morningstar.  Type the following
command:

		showrev

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. Create a group ppp in /etc/group. Described in Sec. 4.2 of Morningstar's
   user guide. For example
  
   ppp:*:42:

3. run /usr/local/src/ppp/Install

4. 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 _____________________

5. Configuration of Files:
 
(a)	 cp /etc/ppp/Dialers.ex /etc/ppp/Dialers

      View /etc/ppp/Dialers and determine which entry matches your modem and
      uncomment it. If your modem is not listed then use the entry HAYES-9600.

(b)      vi /etc/ttytab

        Modify the following lines to be

        ttya    none            unknown         off remote secure
        ttyb    none            unknown         off remote secure

      execute `kill -HUP 1`
      execute `chmod 666 /dev/ttya /dev/ttyb`

      List the processes and kill any gettys running on /etc/ttya or /etc/ttyb.

      tip /dev/ttya or /dev/ttyb (whichever port your modem is connected to)

        type AT to insure that your can communicate with the modem.
	it should return 'OK'

        then initialize the modem according to the /etc/ppp/Dialers entry

(c)	 cp /etc/ppp/Startup.ex /etc/ppp/Startup

      	vi /etc/ppp/Startup

       duplicate the lines 

        #pppd `hostname`:42.42.42.42 auto idle 1800
        #                       (echo -n ' LAN-DCS')        >/dev/console
        #route add default 42.42.42.42 1

       uncomment the duplicated lines and change them as follows:

        change 42.42.42.42 in both places to the IP address of the
	LanDial router at the POP in the city nearest you

    For ___________________, that IP address is _____________________

	change the idle timeout from 180 to something more appropriate;
	(180 is barely long enough to bring the connection up)

(d)	 cp /etc/ppp/Systems.ex /etc/ppp/Systems

	vi /etc/ppp/Systems 

       uncomment the line

       #42.42.42.42 Any ACU 38400 18005551212 in: Pldcs word: \qPPPassword

       and change the appropriate fields as follows:

        42.42.42.42 is the ip of the POP router  (see above)
	38400 is the highest baud rate supported by your modem DTE
        18005551212 is the local POP phone number:

        ________________________

        replace Pldcs with your login ID:  ___________________
        replace PPPassword with your password

(e)	 cp /etc/ppp/Devices.ex /etc/ppp/Devices

	vi /etc/ppp/Devices

      Make an entry with the following
      
       modem-type device speed crtscts

       modem-type is the entry determined in /etc/ppp/Dialers
       device is the port you have the modem connected to (cua or cub)
       speed is the modem DTE speed used in /etc/ppp/Systems
     
       Sample entry:

        T3000 cua 38400 crtscts 

(f)	cp /etc/ppp/Auth.ex /etc/ppp/Auth
	
		vi /etc/ppp/Auth

	Make an entry like the following. Make sure all other entries
	are commented out.

	LDxxxxxx mypassword

	Where LDxxxxxx is your account name and mypassword is your
	password that goes with your account name.

 
6. Initiating connection
  
   a. For testing purposes 
     
      determine your systems's kernel by executing `arch -k` 
      then for example execute if your system is a sun4c 

  `modload /etc/ppp/tun-sun4c-4.1.1.o -exec /etc/ppp/tun_exec -entry _tuninit`

Then load the pppframe STREAMS module, execute the following command before any
pppd daemons are run:

  `modload /etc/ppp/pppframe-sun4-4.1.1.o -entry _pppframeinit`

Now, to start up the pppd daemon:

      execute 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 4, above.

      The modem should dial immediately. Once the connection is established
      you should be able to ping the ip-address-of-router 

      then execute `route add default ip-address-of-router 1`

   b. Once you can successfully do the above steps,  add the following to 
      /etc/rc.local. After a reboot, the connection can now be established 
      by sending any type of traffic over the link (mail,ping,etc).

      if [ -f /etc/ppp/Startup ]; then
         /etc/ppp/Startup
      fi
