Our goal is to start the pppd daemon in a virtual machine. Then it is possible, for example, to connect to your DSL provider in a VM.
==Howto==
HN # modprobe ppp_async
HN # modprobe ppp_deflate
HN # modprobe ppp_mppe
HN # lsmod | grep ppp
ppp_mppe 6420 2
ppp_deflate 9793 2
zlib_deflate 21977 1 ppp_deflate
slhc 10561 1 ppp_generic
* to make these HN changes persistent on reboot create a file called ''ppp.modules''. You can use any name you like but you must give it a ''.modules'' extension. The following method and directory location is applicable to CentOS v6. I am not sure about v5. The directory location may be different for that version.
HN # nano /etc/sysconfig/modules/ppp.modules
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/modprobe ppp_async
/sbin/modprobe ppp_deflate
/sbin/modprobe ppp_mppe
HN # chmod +x /etc/sysconfig/modules/ppp.modules
~�}#�!}!}!} }4}"}&} } } } }%}&)Q�}4}'}"}(}"p})
This will go on for about 30 seconds and then you will be returned to a command prompt. If there is an error message instead, something went wrong.
* From that point, you can finish your setup as in a real hardware environment.
