I am brand new to Linux, and have been unable to establish a PPP connection to my ISP. If anyone can offer a suggestion which might help, I would be very appreciative.
In particular, I am using the
steps set out in
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/tips/PPP-Client-Tips/PPP-Client-Tips.html
I have also consulted
http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-6.2-Manual/getting-started-guide/ch-ppp.html
I have used the /usr/bin/rp3-config tool per the instructions.
But I get no connection. I am told the modem is initialized, but that the configuration does not specify a valid phone number, login name, or password.
When I use wvdial.conf to check my work, I am told I should see something along the lines of
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS2
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
Phone = <Target Phone Number>
Username = <Your Login Name>
Password = <Your Password>
In fact, I see
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
[Dialer {My Internet Service
Provider's Name}]
Username = {My Login Name}
Password = {My Password}
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Phone = {My ISP's Telephone Number}
Area Code = 214
Baud = 115200
Supid mode = o
Inherits = Dialer Defaults
[Dialer]
Inherits = Dialer Defaults
[Dialer = ppp1]
Username = {My Login Name}
Password = {My Password}
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Phone = {My ISP Telephone Number}
Area Code = 214
Baud = 115200
Supid mode = o
Inherits = Dialer Defaults
Still, no luck.
So I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to solve my problem.
Finally, if additional information from me would aid anyone in thinking about the problem, please tell me what else you need to know, and I will happily provide it. But remember, I am brand new to Linux, so in addition to specifying what you need to know, you will also probably have to tell me how to get the information.
Thanks to all.
