Very Computer

Hi folks;

I'm having problmes while making a PPP connection. Here is the output of
/var/log/messages

Connect: ppp0 <---> /dev/modem
LCP: timeout sending config-requests
connection terminated

General info about my system
redhat 4.2
28.8 us robotics sportster modem
166 mHz pentium with mmx running at 180 mHz
scripts run through OK (but quite slow comparing to windows 95)
modem works fine for PPP with win95 installed on the same machine

I added 'LCP-MAX-Configure 60' to ppp options field. but that didn't
help. While trying to check my script by using minicom, I also noticed
that the comminucation between MY computer and MY modem was extremly
slow!?

It takes close to 10 seconds even just to send the initialization
string.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

to help you I think we will need some more inforamtion:

Your "Chat" script
Command line for pppd (You don't run it in debug mode, do you?)

In debug mode, you should get something like that in your message.log

Sep  2 23:16:15 i486 kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995
Caldera, Inc.
Sep  2 23:16:15 i486 kernel: PPP line discipline registered.

Sep  2 23:16:17 i486 chat[1510]: +++ATZ^M^M
Sep  2 23:16:17 i486 chat[1510]: OK -- got it

And do on....

Hope that helps a little

I found out that Linux thought my modem was on IRQ 4
not IRQ 3.

Try:

 setserial irq # spd_vhi

where # is the irq of your modem.

of certain devices. Esp. modems.

Thanks folks,  you were right the problem was IRQ
setserial fixed the problem
