Help to start PPP daemon (from linux) through Java

Hi,

Our application requirement is to start PPP daemon (from linux) through j=
ava
code, using Runtime.exec() (or any other method) and fire an HTTP URL to
some devices (called controllers) and get the required data.
We are facing a =93java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out=94, wh=
ile
executing the program. This error is coming at the line where we are gett=
ing
an input stream from the URL Connection.

I Want to know the exact mechanism of starting ppp daemon (parameters to
form the string). I am using
Process p =3D r.exec("/usr/sbin/pppd " +portName + " 57600");
Where portName are the ports (ttyG0_00 to ttyG0_04) that I can access.

There is no problem connecting to the controller, via the modems, since
previously we were using wvdial to dial to the controllers and retrieve t=
he
data. Presently have to do the same through Java code.

Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks & Regards,


Thanks & Regards,
