------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHAT IS DRDSL For a DSL internet connection to work, the DSL values (VPI, VCI, VPP) of the DSLAM are required. The DSLAM is the counterpart of the DSL modem on the access provider end. The values thus are generally provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). It is possible to enter the requested values from the ISP manually, but it is much more convenient to detect them automatically with drdsl. drdsl tests different values taken from the file drdsl.ini. Once the working values and the corresponding controller number are found, they are written to the adsl.conf, located in the file /etc/drdsl/adsl.conf. Each time the pppd capi plugin is started with the "avmadsl" parameter, the adsl.conf supplies the driver with all of the values detected and a successfull dsl connection can be established. REQUIREMENTS drdsl requires an AVM DSL controller with a CAPI driver running, plus the drdsl.ini file located at /etc/drdsl. The drdsl.ini is also included in every DSL-Controller driver package. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS -c path of the drdsl.ini file -q quiet mode -r remove the files generated by drdsl -h short help UPDATES AND PACKAGES Updates and packages are available at ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/capi4linux/drdsl drdsl is included in every linux driver package for DSL-Controllers at ftp.avm.de/cardware FURTHER INFORMATION For more details on CAPI4Linux, visit AVM at www.avm.de/linux Copyright (C) 2005, AVM GmbH.
