Device settings

Only finish connection setting is not enough to create a internet connection, you need set up a connect device too. Poseidon support modem, ISDN and xDSL. There are two ways to create a new device "Device Wizard" and "Dialog setup". "Device Wizard" can only configure the base information; "Dialog setup" can configure more details about the device. You can seclet everyone.

Use "Device Wizard" to create new device, according to the wizard you can easily finish the setting. For details, see the "Connection and device wizard".
If you want to configure more details, you can select "Device Wizard" to "select device type" window and create a new one.

Different device have different configuration, you can select the one which you want to create.
Modem setting window include "General" setting and "Advance" setting. In "General" setting you can select and configure Device Name, Modem Device, Flow Control, Line Termination, odd verify, Connection Speed and Modem Timeout.

In "Advance" setting you can select and configure Busy Wait, Modem volume. Activate "Use Lock File" option if you want PoseidonPPP to create a lockfile. Under Linux the folder for such a file will be /var/lock. Programs such as mgetty depend on the existence of such lock files, and PoseidonPPP will not work with mgetty if the lock file is not set. Make sure that you don't use the option lock for pppd if you want PoseidonPPP to lock the modem, since the pppd option lock will induce pppd to try to lock the modem device. Since PoseidonPPP will have already locked the device, pppd will fail, and PoseidonPPP will display the error pppd died unexpectedly. Pushing "Modem Commands" you can fill in any particular commands appropriate for your modem. Pushing "Query Modem" button will make PoseidonPPP ask your modem to identify itself. Pushing the Terminal button will bring up a mini terminal. You can use the mini terminal to test your modem.

On XDSL device general setting window you can configure "Device Name" and "DSL Device".
