ppp works fine under X11 but not otherwise !? Running Redhat 5.0 / 2.0.31 kernel / ppp 2.2.0 The modem hangs-up 4 to 8 seconds after Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua1 Whether connect via minicom first and then exec pppd -debug .... or, just using ./ppp-on and ppp-on-dialer the modem hangs-up the line !? Below is from /var/log/messages: localhost kernel: PPP line discipline registered. localhost kernel: registered device ppp0 localhost ppd[330]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 " : Using interface ppp0 " : Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua1 " : Modem hangup " : Connection terminated " : Exit localhost kernel : PPP: ppp line discipline sucessfully unregistered Any ideas, anyone ?
