|Hi --
|
|Received your message (obviously, I guess), and checked what you
|suggested. I think you're right, that the problem is with
|authentication, but I don't know how to check some of the things
|you suggest.
|
|1. How do I turn off my machine from trying to authenticate
|the ISP? I don't remember turning it off, but I also don't
|remember seeing a place where I COULD turn it off.
This is very easy to do, but not well documented.
under PPP options you type in "noauth" (no quotes) this tells PPP that it is
not to authorize the remote machine... I.E. you are logging into the remote,
but the remote does not have to log into your computer...
|2. Likewise, how do I get a routine/syc "in sync?" The signon
|(at least under windoze) doesn't use a script. (Does this
|mean the authentication is PAP and not CHAT?)
Yes, windows normally uses PAP.
Check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0 file
'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'
'ABORT' 'Invalid Login'
'ABORT' 'Login incorrect'
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATDTxx'
'CONNECT' ''
'TIMEOUT' '3'
Notice that in my case above I had to reduce the TIMEOUT value. The default
is WAY too high!
What happens is that by default PPP waits 15 seconds for the line to
"stabilize" before dealing with anything being sent by the remote. This
means that it may miss configuration and login PAP requests.
An even smaller timeout might be fine too!
Your best bet is to switch to another console screen... (ALT-F2) login and
type
"tail -f /var/log/messages"
Then switch back to the first screen, launch the dialer, and switch back to
the second screen.
You'll be able to see what is happening this way.
|3. How do I check for half duplex? I don't get double echoing
|to the terminal, so I don't think this is the problem, but at
|this point, I'll try anything!
|
Make sure that your modem INIT command includes a command that enables FULL
duplex. Your modem's default might be set up for HALF duplex... though this
occurs less and less now.
|Thanks for your help.
