NAME

bpalogin − login client for the Telstra Bigpond Cable Network (Australia)

SYNOPSIS

bpalogin -c conffile -D

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the bpalogin command. It was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

bpalogin is an open source login client for the Telstra Bigpond Cable Network in Australia. It is neither written nor supported by Telstra or Bigpond. It is both simple to use and stable. Unlike the standard client it does not crash, reconnects when there is a network problem, is available for most operating systems, can run as a service on WinNT/2k/xp and comes with source.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below
−c conffile

Specifies the location of the configuration file (usually /etc/bpalogin.conf). This file contains the password and should therefore not be world readable.
