Making a dialer for Dial-up connection using java.comm api

Hi

Even I have been working on almost a same project as mentioned by U. We have a working prototype ready for the javax.comm API. But still I think i would have to go thro ur code before actually saying where u missed out on the PPP code to be sent to the server.

Bye

Hi,

I also am coding a dialup program using the javax.comm api and I am trying to connect to an HP-UX server. The program is successful in dialing to the server but there is a problem in the validation of the password, garbage is returned after the password. Can you share a copy of your code?

Thank you very much!

Using javax.comm for ppp dialup is the wrong approach. You need to write jni interfaces to a shared library (written in C/C++) for your platform.

I've written shared libs for ppp connections on both Windoze and Linux, with standardized interfaces so my Java apps can be used unchanged on either platform (sorry, can't share them).

You need to wrap the standard Windoze RAS API, or, under Linux, write a wrapper for pppd/chat.

Java will automatically adhere to the shared lib naming conventions for the platform it's running on. E.g., if you load library "dialup", java will look for "dialup.dll" on Windoze, and "libdialup.so" on Linux.

Hi Chicks123,

I am working on a project to create a dialer for accessing Internet. This customer can access the net through a simple click that takes in Username and Password. The application should then check the data cable connectivity and only then dial out. If the connectivity is not proper, an error msg should be shown

Once connected it should show a graphical display of the bytes received & transferred.

The application should run across all platforms windows & linux

I am pretty new to this area and would like to have some guidlines as to how this can be created.

Maybe some Whitepaper or documentation on how to proceed in order to achieve this.

Any information like reading material / sites etc which might be helpful can be forwarded to mario_c_noronha@yahoo.com

Thanking you in advance

Though platform dependent, you can use this, and make a workaround to make it platform dependent: (using scripts)

Here you have more information on how to create DUN scripts on msdos:

The web is in spanish, but the tutorial is in english.

Good luck!!
