31.7.2 Configuring KInternet, cinternet, and
qinternet for Remote Use
KInternet, cinternet, and qinternet can be used to control a local or remote smpppd.
cinternet is the command-line counterpart of the graphical KInternet. qinternet is basi-
callly the same as KInternet, but does not use the KDE libraries, so it can be used
without KDE and must be installed separately. To prepare these utilities for use with a
remote smpppd, edit the configuration file /etc/smpppd-c.conf manually or using
KInternet. This file only uses three options:
sites = list of sites
Here, tell the front-ends where to search for smpppd. The front-ends test the options
in the order specified here. The local option orders the establishment of a con-
nection to the local smpppd. gateway points to an smpppd on the gateway. The
connection should be established as specified under server in config-file.
slp orders the front-ends to connect to an smpppd found via SLP.
server = server
Here, specify the host on which smpppd runs.
password = password
Insert the password selected for smpppd.
If smpppd is active, you can now try to access it, for example, with cinternet
--verbose --interface-list. If you experience difficulties at this point, refer
to the smpppd-c.conf(5) and cinternet(8) man pages.
