Gordon just got internet access working through one of the cell phones.
It (the Nextel: 303-994-5997) is hanging on the wall, connected through
its internal modem to a serial port on clover. With the cable connected,
it cannot be charged, so we must remember to disconnect it and charge it
up overnight.
To use (on clover, as aster):
ppp_up
This command:
- places call using cell phone
- connects to cnenet (Hanford ISP)
- (tries to) set routing to linus via cnenet (but fails since not root)
Then can: ssh -l 128.117.80.208 (to connect to linus)
In theory, netscape also should work through cnenet, but didn't appear to yet.
A log of the ppp session is in /etc/log/asppp.log, but need to be root to view)
If clover reboots, routing to linus needs to be done manually:
route add host 128.117.80.208 206.169.217.5 1
With ppp up, Gordon can log in remotely if he knows our address. The easiest
way to get it is from:
ifconfig -a
where the last line is something like:
inet 206.169.217.172 --> 206.169.217.4 netmask ffffff00
When done:
ppp_down
