Hello again, thanks a lot for your support!. My provider use PPPOE. Could it be the problem? Nevertheless, I have already installed Roaring Pengium PPPoE as suggested by the HOWTO...

You're nearly there......... Possible reasons for your trouble: - did you use the correct vci/vpi couple? - did you enter valid values in chap-/pap-secrets? You could also paste your 'adsl'-file into your reply, plus your ppp-options file.... Ciao Ok nacho wrote: Dear Archie, Thanks a lot for your message.

I've finally got it working after 8 hours of staring at the screen. For the record I'll explain what happened: (hopefully it will help someone else in future). Firstmake sure that your're using the 1.2 version (as Gilles said). The firstproblem was with the firmware: the copies of mgmt.o I downloaded for useweren't working, although modem_run isn't very helpful, tucking a single line away in the /var/log/messages file rather than returning an error when called from the bash command line. Anyway, I'd missed the line in /var/log/messages for a while (first moral - check logs carefully!), but whenI found it I tried a download of alcaudsl.sys, which didn't work either. Finally I did another search of the CD which actually came with the modem (I had checked it first but it didn't seem to contain anything useful) and discovered two sets of firmware in the directories containing the Mac OS 8/9 (!) drivers. These were called KQ..something and ZZZ..something. It's the ZZ ones that are needed (for the silver 330 I have: I presume the KQ ones will work with different models). I put them in /etc/ppp/firmware (firmware being a new directory I created) and called modem_run: /usr/local/sbin/modem_run -v1 -a /etc/ppp/firmware/ZZZLP1.eni -f /etc/ppp/firmware/ZZZLP2.eni There being two files, what I understand is being loaded into the modem here is a bootloader (..LP1 following the -a flag) followed by the modem's own (sort-of) OS (..LP2 following the -f flag). The -v flag is supposed to make modem_run verbose, but it doesn't seem to make any difference to what it returns to the command line or the logs. I notice from man modem_run that the-m flag (which all the ready-built scripts I've seen use) is deprecated. Anyway, when the modem loads ok, it will take about 10 seconds, and the righthand light on the modem will blink slowly while it's doing it. Once the firmware is loaded ok, it's time to run pppd: pppd call adsl (Both the above commands can be put in a script (I've named it /root/startadsl and call it atthe end of my /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file so that the adsl connection appearson system startup) when you find that it works) This is my /etc/ppp/peers/adsl file, based on the one that the speedtouchconf.sh script creates: debug kdebug 1 noipdefault defaultroute pty "/usr/local/sbin/pppoa3 -m -1 -c -e 1 -vpi 0 -vci 38" sync user "[private-username]" noauth noaccomp nopcomp noccp novj holdoff 4 # persist maxfail 25 usepeerdns note that Gilleswas right again here, and my silver 330 does need the addition of the -e 1 flag to the pppoa3 command. However once the modem disconnects (whether because of line reasons, or because it's user disconnected with: kill -INT `pidof pppd` ) it won't reconnect until after a restart. It's not the end of the world, but having to issue shutdown -r now is a rather drastic method of bringing the adsl connection back up ! I'm sure I'll crack it sometime. Good luck to anyone trying to use the tips above. I think this sort of thing teaches us humility when we realise that if we knew what we were doing and had downloaded the right software in the first place then what took us 8 hours would have taken 10 minutes :-) Archie Liste de diffusion modem ALCATELSpeedTouch USB Pour se disinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Incoming mailis certified Virus Free.
