This script is designed to serve remote clients via modem connections using PPP (Point-To-Point) protocol. Several RS-232 (COM) ports are supported. Modems are reinitialized from time to time. For all users following info is stored:

    * total link time
    * date/time of last call
    * bytes received
    * bytes sent

PPP 1.18b is required (for more than one line concurrently).

Installation

First - unpack pppserv.zip into any just created directory (for instance, C:\pppserv).

Second - create dialin.cfg file in the %ETC% directory (usually C:\MPTN\ETC) with the lines of pattern KEY [space] VALUE where KEY can be the following:

    StatFile - file to store users statistics. By default: %ETC%\dialin.stat;

    Ports - list of ports modems are connected to (space delimited list of port names "com1 com2 ..." or port numbers "1 2 ...") 

All lines beginnes with the "#" character are ignored.

Third - create configuration files (for each port) for the PPP-driver with the names of ppp-comN.cfg, where N - port number.

Samples of config files are in the pppserv.zip archive.

To start PPP-server run startppp.cmd (not a pppcnt.cmd and ppplog.cmd !).

Now, with time-access control!
