Hi,
I tried at first disabling PNP from the BIOS and the other things you
suggested, but my modem wouldn't get recognized by Win2000 any longer.
I finally started playing with the isapnp tools and after a few
adjustements in /etc/isapnp.conf I got it recognized and I could dial
to my provider. The problem now is that after the modem connects to the
ISP I get an error and pppd gets killed. Here is the log from kppp:
Apr 22 21:23:34 e-city pppd[849]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Apr 22 21:23:34 e-city pppd[849]: Using interface ppp0
Apr 22 21:23:34 e-city pppd[849]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS2
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Peer is not authorized to use remote
address 193.231.222.78
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Connection terminated.
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Connect time 0.1 minutes.
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Sent 329 bytes, received 296 bytes.
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Exit.
The account is certainly valid as I can connect using it in Win2000.
Any ideas what could be generating this message?
Btw. I'm running RH 6.2, kernel 2.2.14-5.0, pppd 2.3.11, kppp 1.6.24.
Thanks,
