.SH NAME
capiplugin \- Plugin for pppd (Point-to-Point Protocol daemon)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pppd
[\fIoptions\fR]
.B plugin
.B /etc/ppp/plugins/capiplugin.so
[\fIoptions for capiplugin\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The capiplugin provides a method to use PPP over ISDN with
ISDN controllers that provide a CAPI2.0 interface.
The plugin is responsible for the call setup with CAPI2.0.
You can dial out, wait for incoming calls and set up communication over
leased lines. It implements a feature to reject an incoming call
and call back. This feature can also be used when dialing out.
In this case, the party called has to reject the call and call back soon.
.SH HOW IT WORKS
.LP
The capiplugin registers a new_phase_hook and its own options to the pppd
when loaded. When the pppd goes into phase SERIALCONN, the capiplugin
set up a connection and sets the global variable devnam.
The capiplugin will register a timer function that is
called every second to handle the CAPI messages while pppd is running.
To notify pppd when CAPI messages arrive, the CAPI file desciptor
is added to the list of file descriptors which the pppd monitors for input.
Once the connection is set up the pppd will start PPP negotiation
on device devnam. When the pppd enters the DEAD phase, the connection will
be dropped (if it is still active) and the timer function and the CAPI file
desciptor will be unregistered.

For point-to-multipoint \fI<controller specification>\fR is only the
CAPI 2.0 controller number, default is 1.

Phone number used to make outgoing calls. Also used for incoming calls
if option \fIinmsn\fR is not set.
.TP
.B number \fI<phone numbers>
List of phone numbers to call, separated by commas.
Every number in the list is called until a connection can be established.
When the end of the list is reached, the first number is called again.

phone number to dial to access an outside line. For example, \fInumberprefix 0\fR.
.TP
.B protocol \fIhdlc\fR | \fIx75\fR | \fIv42bis\fR | \fImodem\fR
ISDN protocol to use. With \fIhdlc\fR, the \fIsync\fR option
must be added to the pppd.
With \fIx75\fR, \fIv42bis\fR and \fImodem\fR, the \fIsync\fR option
MUST NOT be enabled. Default value is \fIhdlc\fR.
Not all controllers support \fIv42bis\fR and \fImodem\fR.
Use capiinfo(8) to view which features your controller supports.
.TP
.B redialdelay \fI<seconds>
Number of seconds to wait between redialing. Default value is 5 seconds.

.SH CAVEATS
.LP
Every pppd awaiting incoming calls can receive an incoming call first.
So when two pppds are started to monitor the same MSN, one with
CLI Authentication and the other without, the following can happen:
.IP
The Client with the CLI specified to the first pppd calls, but the pppd
without the \fIcli\fR option receives the call first and accepts it.
.LP
To combine CLI Authentication and PAP/CHAP Authentication,
use one MSN for CLI authenticated calls and another for the PAP/CHAP
authenticated calls.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.LP
Messages are sent to the syslog daemon just as in normal pppd operation;
see the pppd manual page.
