Hi,
I tried at first disabling PNP from the BIOS and the other things you
suggested, but my modem wouldn't get recognized by Win2000 any longer.
I finally started playing with the isapnp tools and after a few
adjustements in /etc/isapnp.conf I got it recognized and I could dial
to my provider. The problem now is that after the modem connects to the
ISP I get an error and pppd gets killed. Here is the log from kppp:
Apr 22 21:23:34 e-city pppd[849]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Apr 22 21:23:34 e-city pppd[849]: Using interface ppp0
Apr 22 21:23:34 e-city pppd[849]: Connect: ppp0 -- /dev/ttyS2
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Peer is not authorized to use remote
address 193.231.222.78
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Connection terminated.
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Connect time 0.1 minutes.
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Sent 329 bytes, received 296 bytes.
Apr 22 21:23:38 e-city pppd[849]: Exit.
The account is certainly valid as I can connect using it in Win2000.
Any ideas what could be generating this message?
Btw. I'm running RH 6.2, kernel 2.2.14-5.0, pppd 2.3.11, kppp 1.6.24.
Thanks,

I have recently swaped my PCI winmodem with an ISA Diamond SupraExpress
56i modem, hoping to be able to surf the net in Linux. I'm running
RedHat 6.2, and after configuring Kppp i get an 'modem busy' error
when I try to connect to my provider. Any ideas what could be wrong
here? Could it be a hardware conflict with the other cards in my
system?
I have an identical modem in 3 different Linux systems, and have had it
working under Redhat 5.1 - 6.2. I don't use Kppp though most of the
time - I use diald to do dial-on-demand.
I have the modem configured on COM3 (as it is working in Win2000). The
other cards installed in the system are:
- S3 Trio64 2Mb PCI video card;
- Realtek 8139A PCI network card;
- Yamaha SAX ISA sound card.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated as I'm getting pretty desperate
here.
First, make sure you do NOT set the modem for PNP operation. I have all
3 of mine setup for COM3, IRQ5. In the BIOS PCI/PNP setup screen for
the PC, you will probably want to ensure the following settings:
1. Set "PNP OS Installed" to NO (the wording of this option could be
different for your system.
2. Reserve IRQ5 for a "Legacy ISA" device. Again, the method for doing
this could vary depending upon your BIOS.
Now, if the modem is on a non-standard IRQ such as IRQ 5, you need to
tell Linux about it. I do this in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
# Setup non-standard serial IRQ's
setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 5 spd_vhi
That tells Linux that ttyS2 (COM3) is on IRQ5 - the default will assume
IRQ 4, which is also in use by the first serial port (ttyS0 aka COM1).
Hope that helps!
