Hi, I've been trying to get PPP to work by following the PPP How-To. I called my ISP and got the required info. When I asked about PAP they didn't seem to know what I was talking about. So, I assume they don't use PAP.
I have an external Zoom K56 flex modem connected to ttyS1 and it seems to work. I called the UNIX box at my college and connected, checked e-mail etc. using minicom. And seeing that the modem was working I went on to tackle PPP... I call up my ISP using minicom and get: Connect NAS45ATL-N line 3 User Access Verification Username: Password: I enter the required info. and get: Entering PPP mode Async interface address is unnumbered(Ethernet 0) Your IP address (dynamically assigned so different each time) MTU is 1500 bytes I then get the garbage talked about in the How-To. I exit minicom ^-A Q and type in: pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyS1 38400 & like the How-To says to. I then type ifconfig and get: lo Link encap: Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask 255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 In the messages file I see: CSLIP: code copyright... PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation) PPP: Dynamic channel copyright notice... PPP line discipline registered. registered device ppp0 pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Connection terminated. Exit. In the ppp.log file I see: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 { Then a whole bunch of sent and rcvd LCP "pairs"} { Then a whole bunch of 1 sent 2 rcvd tripples} LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Connection terminated. Exit. I added lcp-max-configure 30 to my ppp options file. Before I did that the connection would terminate in a hurry. Now it at least stays connected for a few seconds, not that does any good... So, anyone got any ideas. I'm at a loss as what do do now. BTW- I have kernal 2.0.29 Thanks, Jeff... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
