Hi All my ISP has just transferred me to Hotkey which appears to be a primus dialup. Everything was working fine until the transfer now I cannot connect using a ifup ppp0 command only way I can get a connections is by directly using wvdial. as the connection starts I get this in the syslog
Feb 6 10:14:57 dalston WvDial: ~[7f]}#@!}!}!} '}"}&} } } } }#}$@#}%} &xF(M}'}"} Feb 6 10:14:57 dalston WvDial: PPP negotiation detected. Feb 6 10:14:57 dalston pppd[5023]: Serial connection established.

Feb 6 10:15:09 dalston pppd[5023]: Connection terminated. I've had a quick google and I think I need to add the silent option to pppd but even after putting it in /etc/ppp/options, /etc/ppp/option.ttyS0 and the options section of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp and doing and ps -ax | grep pppd I get [root@dalston /etc]# ps -ax | grep ppp 5659 ttyS0 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd modem crtscts defaultroute usehostname 5782 pts/14 S 0:00 grep ppp Any ideas gratefully accecpted and do you know where I can find the syntax for these sysconfig files.
