I am trying to set up a ppp connection. I have already successfully
connected to my ISP using minicom
Following the instructions in the HOWTO for a manual connection I have
dialed my ISP then exited without resetting. At the command prompt I type
the following
pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyS1 38400 &
The first time I type "ifconfig" at the prompt a message that says something
very similar to "[+1] Done pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyS1 38400" appears below
the loopback and ethernet entries. After that there are just the loopback
and ethernet.
In /var/log/messages the following appears:
pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
using interface ppp1
connect: ppp1 <--> /dev/ttyS1
Serial line is looped back
Connection terminated
Exit.
I have included copies of my options and resolve.conf files. Any help on
what is going wrong would be appreciated.
