CHAPTER 1 • CREATING A DIAL-UP INTERNET CONNECTION 21 Figure 1.4 Here you control what happens during the connection. • Busy Wait. If your modem gets a busy signal, Linux waits this period of time before trying to dial the phone number again. • Modem Volume. The three modem volume settings correspond to: Off, Medium, and High. This applies only if your modem has a speaker. • Modem Commands. Click this to see the commands that Linux uses to test your modem. Do not modify this list unless you know what you are doing. • Query Modem. You used this command earlier in this chapter to test whether Linux can communicate with your installed modem. • Terminal. You can click this to bring up a blank screen where you can enter text commands to your modem. You can also use this terminal to watch what’s happening while KPPP is trying to connect.
22 PART ONE • CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET TIP Enable the Terminal option so you can view the interaction between your ISP’s computer and KPPP; what you see in this window may give you important clues for resolving connection problems. After you are certain you have configured your connection correctly, you can disable this option. Choosing Connection Settings This group of settings, shown in Figure 1.4, determines how Linux communicates with your modem from when it connects to when you end your connection. Review the settings shown in Figure 1.4: • pppd Timeout. After your modem connects to a modem at your ISP, it has to set up a PPP connection. If your modem cannot set up a PPP connection, your ISP may be busy; in that case it is best to try again. A typical timeout is 30 s. • Dock into Panel on Connect. Minimizes your KPPP windows once your modem has established a connection. This option overrides the Minimize Window on Connect option. This is an especially useful option if you are paying long-distance charges for your connection; the panel icon reminds you that you are connected (and paying). • Automatic Redial on Disconnect. Redials your ISP if you are disconnected while you are on the Internet. Enable this option so that KPPP can restore your connection in the event of a line fault. • Show Clock on Caption. Sets up a clock once you have a PPP connection to the Internet. This is useful especially when the cost of the telephone call depends on the length of your connection. • Disconnect on X Server Shutdown. Ends your KPPP connection if you exit KDE.
