Re: ppp vs windows dialup networking

1998-10-21 Thread shaul 
 when I connect to my isp in windows I get a dialog box showing the
 progress of the connection.  It finally reports the connection speed
 that the modem achieved.  Is there any way to get this information
 when connecting via ppp?
 

Try xisp (you'll need X for it).

 Also, I have had a problem where the first time I ran pon it would
 fail to dial out and connect, If I kill the first pppd and then
 restart pon
it always connects on the second try.

Your  /etc/chatscripts/provider  probably needs an extra line.
On the 1st try ATZ isn't resetting to the modem optimum for ppp
Do the following:

After a successful 2nd, do a
cat /var/log/ppp.log 
and see the ATx sent to the modem
Then modify your /etc/provider so it reads like the following

-
ABORT BUSY
ABORT NO CARRIER
ABORT VOICE
ABORT NO DIALTONE 
ABORT NO ANSWER
 ATZ
OK ATE0Q0S0=0M0V1X1C1D2 your new line, I added in the M0 for
quiet modem
OK ATDT3012539182
CONNECT \d\c

For the moment, there seems to be a problem with the 'plog -f' command
because of a broken sysklogd package.  When 'plog -f' does work though,
it lets you see the connection progress and the baud rate that you
connected with.

That's a slink problem.  'plog -f' works fine in 2.0.

Only if you are giving your modem the appropriate init string.
