−This document covers dial-up internet connections with PPP
+
−----------------------------------------------------------
+
−
+
−Now you have to set up the online configuration. The trick is to tell
+
−your ip-up script the connection name. You could use the IP number of
+
−the far side of the ppp link, but this is a pain and may change each
+
−time. But you can give it an additional argument via pppd with ipparam.
+
−Somewhere in your dial up script you have a line similar to:
+
−
+
−	/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 connect "/usr/sbin/chat -t 90 -f $CHATFILE" \
+
−	-d -d -d user user@somewhere file "$OPTIONS"
+
−
+
−Just add 'ipparam FastNet' in the command line for pppd if your ISP has
+
−the name FastNet. The ip-up script will then get 'FastNet' as a sixth
+
−parameter. In your ip-up script you can then call masqmail with
+
−
+
−	/usr/local/sbin/masqmail -qo "$6"
+
−
+
−instead of 'sendmail -q', if you had that in the script before.
+
−Masqmail will then read the route configuration specified for the
+
−connection name 'FastNet' and deliver the mail destined to the internet.
+
−See the configuration manual on how to write a route configuration or
+
−use one of the examples as a template.
+
−
+
−I do not know how do configure that for an ISDN adapter, but I am sure
+
−you will find something similar in the man pages.
+
−
+
−If you want mail that is received by masqmail from your local net to be
+
−delivered immediately using the route configuration, you have two
+
−possibilities:
+
−
+
−* if you are using the masqdialer system, you just have to set
+
−  online_query to something like
+
−	/usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 224
+
−  if mserver is running on localhost and listens on port 224. See the
+
−  man page to mservdetect(1).
+
−
+
−* otherwise you have to add two commands in your ip-up script:
+
−	echo "$6" >/var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route
+
−	chmod 644 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route
+
−  and you have to remove the file /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route in
+
−  your ip-down script:
+
−	rm /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route
+
−  Then you have to set online_query to
+
−	/bin/cat /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route
+
−
+
−See the route documentation for more.
