I just got RH 5.2 and am pretty green with linux, so am having more than a
few problem logging on to Telesys with it. /dev/modem points to the right
place (I do hear it dialing and even connecting, and (using minicom) get
somewhere in the telesys dialin). However, all the programs I've tried to
use to dial in tend to hang up relatively soon after connecting. Minicom
shows the 'welcome to telesys' type stuff at an ungodly slow rate (modem is
a Newcom IFX 56k (X2 and v.90 compatible). I've set the modem speed to
anything from 56700 to 230whatever with the same results, and everything
hanging up.
Today, I breezed by the SIGLinux homepage and found Daniel Rogers' dial-in
script and faithfully typed it in under Linux, but dip kept returning:
"
mammon2: unable to look up host name
"
(mammon2 is the temporary name of the system, entered in Linuxconf)
any ideas, folks? Should I set the modem to 38,400 to see if that works,
and if so, is there any chance I can recover 56k speeds?
Thanks
