New version of smpppd-web

Thu, 12 Jan 2006 05:46:00 +0100

The original versions of smppd-web by Christopher Hofmann neither support adding and removing links on the fly nor do they support dial-on-demand ISDN interfaces. That is the reason why I extended the original codebase by these features.
Further more the users for which I developed the software are german speaking only so that gettext support was also an important feature. Initially I added support for german and english languages.

As I’m not a SuSE user in general, the new version probably does not follow the SuSE directory guidelines and it does not come packaged as a RPM. Therefore it would be great if someone with SuSE RPM packaging know-how would create a successor RPM package out of Christopher’s original version. Or even better Christopher packages a new version for OpenSuSE ;)

Creating an ISDN Gateway with SuSE 9.3

In Germany flatrates are available for DSL only, so people, living in areas where DSL is not available, have to pay expensive time based fees for slowly connecting to the Internet. The problem is that M$ Windows and many of the installed tools are known for initiating internet connections although the user did not ask them to do so. Therefore it is crucial to reliably disconnect the ISDN line so that those unwanted connection attempts will not succeed. ISDN routers, which might be of help here, are hard to find nowadays and do not offer the comfort as new DSL routers do.
