xdialppp - X front end to manage and configurate ppp connections
xdialppp
xdialppp is a user friendly X application that
allows configurating and managing a ppp connection. It was written with
the intention of performing an easy ppp connection with an ISP.It generates
two scripts and uses pppd to perform the connection. xdialppp is divided
in 2 steps : 1)
Configurating and 2) Managing the ppp connection. The first time that
xdialppp is executed, it will show a message telling that the configuration
files could not be found, so it has to be configurated first (by pressing
the Configurate button).
- Configurating:
- In this step, all the information
needed to perform the connection should be entered. For example: the ISP’s
phone #, username, password, etc. Many options come with a default setting,
that should work fine for most users. When all needed data is entered, the
OK button should be pressed, so the scripts are built, and xdialppp is
ready to enter step 2. A name for the connection should be provided , and
a name for a configuration file will be asked.
- Managing:
- Once all options
are configurated properly, the connection can be started or stopped pressing
the Connect and Disconnect button respectively. There is also a console
log that shows the progress of the connection.
This application
was built using xforms library, so it recognizes all the xforms options.
