I've setup my linux-box (Mandrake 9.2) and Thomson SpeedTouch 330 with the instructions from SpeedTouchUSB-HOWTO at sourceforge.net
The modem seems to be working, but is not connecting to the remote site ... the following is the output after I issue the "pppd call adsl" comand (with debugging switched on) ... am I right in this? using channel 81 Using interface ppp1 Connect: ppp1 <--> /dev/pts/2 Looking for secret in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets for client "username" (null) Got client "dialup2" Got client "dialup2" Got client "username" Got server * Got secret * Got auth_addr * Got client * Looking for secret in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets for client "username" server (null) Got client "username" Got server * Got secret * Got auth_addr * Got client * sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x78201bf1>] ..... repeated 9 times .....

I've quadruple-checked the logins, and tried the -e 1 option in the pppoa3 line (which the output rejects with "unknown option '-e' ignored). many thanks Archie Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
