Configuring Morningstar Software with Solaris 2.3
		   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
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. Install the software, per Morningstar's read.me file.

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 /usr/lib/ppp/Dialers.ex /usr/lib/ppp/Dialers

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

    Then tip to the modem, type AT and it should return OK.

(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.

       uncomment the line

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

       and change the appropriate fields 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 _____________________.

        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

(c)      cp /usr/lib/ppp/Startup.ex /usr/lib/ppp/Startup

        vi /usr/lib/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 (see the Systems file entry)

	make sure the idle timeout (in seconds) is long enough
	to permit you to bring the connection up

(d)    cp /usr/lib/ppp/Devices.ex /usr/lib/ppp/Devices

            vi /usr/lib/ppp/Devices

       Make an entry as follows:
      
       modem-type device speed rtscts

       modem-type is the entry determined in /usr/lib/ppp/Dialers

       device is the port you have the modem connected to (cua/a, for
        example)

       speed is the modem DTE speed used in /usr/lib/ppp/Systems
     
       Sample entry:
        T3000 cua/a 38400 rtscts 

(e)	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.

	LDxxxxxx mypassword

	Where LDxxxxxx is your account name and mypassword is your
	password associated 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 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 the command:

        route add default ip-address-of-router 1

6. Once you can successfully do the above steps, add the following to
      /etc/rc2.  After a reboot, the connection can now be established
      by sending any type of traffic over the link (mail, ping, etc).

      if [ -f /usr/lib/ppp/Startup ]; then
         /usr/lib/ppp/Startup
