How to telent.

[Anna Schneider]

Okay, I read all the suggestions yesterday regarding what to do after 
connecting, and I'd like to telnet for now.  I at least know sort of what 
it is, but I'm suspecting after some experiments that I have to set up 
some kind of configuration file for it too, is that correct?  I looked up 
telnet on the man pages, but there was stuff of stuff that didn't make any 
sense.  Anywhere else I could look?  Do people here have suggestions on 
what I could do?  And is any of the information in the PPP set up message 
from drizzle that I'm forwarding again useful to telnetting?

Thanks.

Anna

Hi Anna,

If you're configuring Linux to connect to Drizzle, then we assume you have a
firm grasp of how to connect to an ISP.

You can use PAP or CHAP to login.

For your dial up connection, you need to append your username with "-ppp"
like this:

annas-ppp

Your connect script should look for some version of "login" and "Password"
and send your username (with the -ppp) and your password.

Your IP address and Gateway address will be assigned dynamically via DHCP,
so you should leave them unspecified. Using 0.0.0.0 is the usual way of
doing this.

POP3 server:  pop.drizzle.com

SMTP server: smtp.drizzle.com
