Re: Tomato/MLPPP Modem Access via Router
said by planiwa  :How to access Modem via Tomato Router: *. Tomato/MLPPP Version 1.21-mp3alpha4 has an option: "Route Modem IP" in Basic > Network. Disregard the remainder of this. *. Tomato/MLPPP Version 1.19-mp2 uses br1 instead of vlan1 in what follows. Those are the only two versions that anybody should be using (well, they really should only be using 1.21-mp3alpha4, but 1.19-mp2 is technically the stable release), so what version exactly is your how-to guide intended for? |

1 edit | Thank you very much for this excellent question.
I use Tomato extensively and intensely. I have never used MLPPP.
I can see how someone who is only interested in Tomato as an MLPPP vehicle might be attracted by the Subject line, and then be bored by all the additional "irrelevant" information.
I was trying to make things easy for MLPPP users, but in the process have created an annoyance.
Unless I hear of an even better solution to this conundrum, I will do this:
. . .
1. Change the Subject line to
Modem Access via Tomato Router
2. Move the MLPPP text to the end of the page.
3. Express a hope that the future official releases will do what the latest MLPPP version did.
. . .
Will that satisfy all? Better suggestions?
[FWIY, when people asked how to access modems via Tomato, I showed them how. Then they got annoyed with me because it didn't work for them. Turns out that MLPPP versions did things differently from pure Tomato. So, I took the trouble to learn how these different MLPPP versions differed from pure Tomato, and decided to share everything for the benefit of others.]

Montreal, QC | Well, our stuff is all opensourced, so the Tomato author can use any of our code in a future version if he wants to. But I suspect that he won't include anything unless we submit specific patches, which is unlikely. |
