Dialup scripting on N9000



Q. I am interested in setting up a system which will run a script before 
   making a PPP connection for Internet access. We have a client who's IP 
   requires interaction (to choose server, ID, password, etc.) BEFORE the 
   PPP is established.

A. The Nokia 9000i PPP stack includes a scripting module that can:

   - Await input and send responses.
   - Parse IP addresses from the input and use them as the DNS
     server to use, and/or local IP address of the device.
   - Prompt the user for simple string responses (like username,
     password, etc.)

   There is no support for anything like this in the previous PPP driver.
