Subject: Re: [leaf-user] help with ISDN?
To get meaninful help, you are going to have to improve the quality of your
reporting. Telling us you got "some errors" and "something about ..."
simply isn't enough detail for real troubleshooting.
>>> Sorry, this effort is at home, and I am at work.
With a ppp connection, you (almost always) get the interface configuration
values -- IP address, gateway, and related values -- from the other end of
the connection. If LCP negotiation fails, that information never comes
through.
>>> That's what I'm expecting
The 7-bit error usually means that the ISP's end of the connection did not
switch from shell mode to ppp mode. It usually has nothing to do with the
modem or serial-port settings at your end.
>>> AH! I suspect this is the problem. Do you think I need to increase
my LCP delay?
To get real help, please provide us with the COMPLETE, INTACT log output of
a failed attempt to connect. The ONLY exception to "INTACT" is that you
should replace your password with a string of upper-case Xs. Also tell us
how the ISP expects you to authenticate (e.g., userid/password, CHAP, PAP).
And let us see your ppp options file, again complete and intact.
>>> userid.passwd no CHAP or PAP.
>>> If no success, tonite I'll try to get more info.
BTW, what LEAF version are you running?
>>>> I am running a modified Eigerstein/Debian Potato with a
2.4.18 ipsec kernel I compiled myself.
I started with LRP a year and half ago and have evolved from there.
LEAF for me is more a resource than a distro. But a fantastic
resource it has been.
This is a system I've taken home to be a router/firewall behind ISDN,
the only service I can get out in the sticks.
