PPP Connection to a Router AUX port from a WIN2000 box 1

[kingster]

I am trying to connect a com port of a WIN2000 Workstation into the aux port of a 2621. I have heard that you can do this and setup a Dial-up connection to the Router's AUXs port without going over POTS.

The object of this would then be to use the Async card with its eight tailed cable and get some old terminals hooked up so that they can connect to a Linux server which is using an ASCII based database. I know the Workstations would only connect at best 56k, but this would be enough for the app to work. Can anyone help

I want the Router to see a PPP request from the W/S and give it a DHCP address.

Cheers

Kingster

interface Async1
!--- async interface corresponding to the AUX port
!--- Use the show line command to determine which async interface corresponds to the
!--- AUX port.
ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
!--- The IP address on the AUX ports of both routers are in the same subnet.
encapsulation ppp
!--- sets PPP as the encapsulation
async dynamic routing
!--- allows routing protocols on the link
async mode dedicated
!
no ip classless
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Async1
!--- The default route points to the Async1 (AUX port) interface.

line aux 0
!--- line configuration for the AUX port
modem InOut
transport input all
!--- allow all protocols to use the line
rxspeed 38400
!--- set the Rx speed (identical to the other router's TX speed)
txspeed 38400
!--- set the Tx speed (identical to the other router's RX speed)

This should get you rolling.. I dont know if 2K can do it's part but it's worth a try

I have both ends of an AUX to AUX listed at:

Click on R1 and R2 on the AUX back to back picture.

Hope this helps!
