Up until now I have been using a Redhat 5.2 system and haven't had problems running PPP over a modem. I want to switch over to a Debian system but I can't get PPP to run for some strange reason. Here's some info. Hopefully someone can help.
The Redhat system is using kernel 2.2.5 and pppd 2.3.5. Here's the entries in my options file: defaultroute lock crtscts The Debian system is a stock 2.0 system (I want to use PPP to upgrade once it's working) with kernel 2.0.34 and pppd 2.3.5. I added the defaultroute line to the options file (also tried without it) and turned off auth on the command line. (Also tried with it.) What happens when I try to connect? Using the debug option, my pppd is sending LCP config requests but eventually times out. I KNOW ppp is running on the remote end since I log in manually and it's the same place I connect to using the Redhat system. Using the 'silent' option prevents the timeout, but doesn't provide a solution. Anyone know offhand what is causing this problem or what I can do to figure out what is the problem? Thanks, Dan.
