Re: forcing pppd to dial even on a different tone
This is not a ppp issue, but a modem config parameter. Most modems, try ATX0 or ATX1 See the modem manual, check for either "blind dial", or a table which lists the various values that ATX can take. You want the value that does _not_ report "NO DIAL TONE". >Anybody know of a way to force a pppd script (created by pppconfig) >to dial and execute ATDT9,1234567 even if there is no dial tone ? >The reason is that, I am behind a PABX system, and traditional >ATDT9,1234567 or ATDT9w1234567 wont work because in our PABX, unless >you dial local 9 first, you wont get a dial tone (just a low freq >humming sound).

RE: forcing pppd to dial even on a different tone
Usually ATX3 does the trick :)))... so it would be atx3dt9,1234567 Best regards "Jersey" -- From: t s a d i[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2000 11:38 AM To: debian-isp@lists.debian.org Subject: forcing pppd to dial even on a different tone hello Everyone, Anybody know of a way to force a pppd script (created by pppconfig) to dial and execute ATDT9,1234567 even if there is no dial tone ?

forcing pppd to dial even on a different tone
hello Everyone, Anybody know of a way to force a pppd script (created by pppconfig) to dial and execute ATDT9,1234567 even if there is no dial tone ? The reason is that, I am behind a PABX system, and traditional ATDT9,1234567 or ATDT9w1234567 wont work because in our PABX, unless you dial local 9 first, you wont get a dial tone (just a low freq humming sound). This causes the script to just stop w/o even trying to dial and then give a "NO DIALTONE" error to ppp.log. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chad A. Adlawan __ Do You Yahoo!?
