I am trying to get my Practical Periphials 28.8 external modem working under Debian 2.1. I have followed the examples in O'Relly's "Running Linux" and created the following files in /etc/ppp:
my-chat-script #!/bin/sh # my-chat-script: a program for dialing up your ISP exec chat -v \ '' ATZ \ OK ATDT542-5605 \ CONNECT '' \ ogin: myusername \ assword: mypassword \ ppp-on #!/bin/sh # the ppp-on script exec /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 28800 lock crtscts noipdefault \ defaultroute 0.0.0.0:0.0.0.0 connect my-chat-script I used vi to create these and made sure nothing follows the \ character. After creating them, I issued a chmod 755 /etc/ppp/filename command for each file. When I type ppp-on to begin the execution, nothing happens. No lights on the modem change and I am returned to my debian prompt. Thanks, Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
