hi i wanted to report a small victory in getting ppp to work. (and ask another question)
after days of frustration, i remembered that my vanilla distribution kernel supports a non-existant mouse on ttyS0!!!! (that's where my modem lives) ((i have a bus mouse)) i finally just killed the process supporting the mouse... i guess there is a way in some init control file to prevent it from starting gpm. my pon chatscript now worked!!! however, all victories are compromises, so after it reported: (after showing the banner from the isp & the login sequence: Serial connection established. Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0 then... it reports pairs of LCP ConfReq and ConfNak messages it looks like each one is echoed back immediately... after ten pairs, it reports: Serial line is looped back and shuts down. : ( onr thing i notice is that the connection was at 14.4 and my options show 38.4... however, i can read the banner, etc and the password was passed ok. i would be ever so grateful for some advice. thanx dave -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
