Thank you for your answer. But I'm afraid that this is not the problem. In fact, the modem is *not* dialing. I believe that the problem is in the modem initialisation. If I activate the log viewer in kppp I can observe that it does not show the "ATZ - OK" which I used to see. Instead, the inferior displacement bar shows like the first line of log has filled of a series of "invisible" characters. If I run a terminal with the modem, I must write two times AT to get a OK. And ATI 1 show a long line, with the correct string at the end of a series of "invisible" characters. Any idea? Thanks, oscar. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thursday 04 April 2002 WhoopsSorry about that Oscar, lots of times I am wrong what happens if you replace the ATZ in the init string with AT&F ? that should reflush and go with a good string?Maybe?well you may have a idea already about the validity of my advice but give it a try ...?

Thank you, Olly, I will try it tomorrow, and I will tell you about it. I will try CR/LF instead of CR, changing the flow control and the speed. Thanks again, and you will have news soon (good news, I hope...) oscar. -- .-. oo| /`'\ Usuario de Linux Registrado #227443 (\_;/) http://counter.li.org/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Problem with LM82 and modem
Thanks to all. I have solved the problem. Using minicom, I must write AT and press he key twice to get a OK. I don't know the reason, but I have created a "chatfile" under /etc/ppp/ like this: ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'ERROR' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT 'BUSY' "" "ATZ" OK "ATDTx" CONNEC In the options I have put the line: connect "/usr/sbin/chat -vf /etc/ppp/chatfile" Also, I have changed the speed from 115200 to 57600 and now the modem is working ok. I can't use kppp but I use modemlights_applet to call pppd, and now my friend is enjoying linux + internet. Thanks. óscar.
