Hello, I'm trying to use PPP to connect to my ISP. My modem does not dial when pppd is evoked. I get the error message: "pppd: peer authentication required but no suitables secret(s) found for authentication any peer to us (hostname.domain)". I don't know what this means. However, my modem does work using minicom. After I get connected, I enter my 'login', 'password' and the server spits out ascii characters (%#!&^@...). Is this considered pap/chap server? I'm not so clear on this. At this point I don't know what to do with the connection but have to hangup. Can I use minicom instead of PPP as my networking protocol? I am trying to use PPP to connect to my ISP and my modem doesn't respond (only minicom does and connects). I use control-panel in Xwindow to setup my networking stuffs. I'm using RH5 by the way.
