Hi all, In an effort to start preparing to replace my one last winblows box, I am trying to get dialup working.
I have tried the mandrake connection setting for it.. and I have dikked with it endlessly myself.. all to no avail. KPPP can do it just fine.. for some reason, once or twice a day, my script will work, from then on, it doesn't... the error I get is this: LCP: timeout getting Config-Requests then I get a not 8 bit clean message.. So, I trolled google.com/linux and found 10,000 pages on it,, looked at most of them, tried most of the options including: passive lcp-max-configure 60 crtscts nocpp as well as the normal options: lock noauth noipdefault usepeerdns (NOTE, I didn't use all the former options together, (for example, I didn't use lcp-max-connfigure with passive)) I tried changing the connect script in various ways, and some other stuff.. nothing I did worked.. Then I tried minicom, got to the ppp stage, then it seemed to lock up and I had to kill it. (I was trying to log out of minicom without resetting the modem, (usually ALT Q or CTRL AQ) but that didn't work either.. and yet kppp and my windows box work fine... So my question is this: How can I find out exactly what kppp did to get connected? that way I can use those settings to get my script happening. This is most annoying, I don't like using kppp, I usually make a bash file called dial, and another called hangup, and they just do: ifup ppp0 and ifdown ppp0 respectively, then I can tell my girlfriend to just use those (the box isn't usually in GUI, so kppp isn't really an option normally.) any suggestions would be most appreciated.. While I am seeing if a wise man is around, I am trying to use linuxconf to set this up,,,, it didn't work in MDK7.2, but who knows, maybe its different now.. regards frank
