I am trying to set up a dial-up ppp following chapter 15 of "Running Linux"
by Welsh, Dalheimer & Kaufman
I am using a US Robotics non-win modem which has installed itself in COM3.
Accordingly, as root I entered:
ln -sf /dev/ttyS3 /dev/modem
I do not hear dialtone, nor the prompt ("Up and running) I added to
/etc/ppp/ip-up
I edited /etc/syslog.conf to create a chat-log and got the following
entries:
pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0
tcgetattr: input/output error(5)
Exit.
The modem works fine under Windows both to MSN and a university server
When I run ifconfig, I get the verbage about a local connection, but nothing
about ppp0
Any help would be appreciated
David
