Very Computer

Hello,

I have RedHat 5.2 on intel, and I'm having a problem setting up
PPP. This (hopefully) should be easy to fix, but I can't seem to
pinpoint the problem.

Here is a sample of the output from pppd:

Apr 15 20:48:36 localhost chat[677]: abort on (BUSY)
Apr 15 20:48:36 localhost chat[677]: abort on (ERROR)
Apr 15 20:48:36 localhost chat[677]: abort on (NO CARRIER)
Apr 15 20:48:36 localhost chat[677]: abort on (NO DIALTONE)
Apr 15 20:48:36 localhost chat[677]: abort on (Invalid Login)
Apr 15 20:48:36 localhost chat[677]: abort on (Login incorrect)
Apr 15 20:48:36 localhost chat[677]: send (ATZ^M)
Apr 15 20:48:36 localhost chat[677]: expect (OK)

This is where the script hangs. It looks like the script is waiting
for an "OK" from the modem, but never gets what it is expecting.
The TR light on the modem lights up when the script starts, so at
least I know it is connecting to the COM port.

If I test the modem by hand, everything looks good:

cu -l /dev/cua0
Connected.
ATZ
OK
ATZ
OK

I thought that maybe there is not a carriage return being
sent at the end of the ATZ command, so I tried inserting a \r
at the end of that string in netcfg. This resulted in

Apr 15 20:48:36 localhost chat[677]: send (ATZ^M^M)

in the log file, and still hangs on expect (OK).

What am I missing here?

This is an external SupraFaxModem 14.4 on COM1.
Thanks

Stock response coming up:

go to

http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html

and follow the instructions therein. It is probably best to print it
out, about 12 pages. The instructions cover ISP's that use PAP, CHAP and
login scripts so it should cover what you want.

Do you see a line in dmesg or /var/log/messages that says something about the
PPP line discipline being registered?  If not, you may not have kernel support
for PPP built in.  You need that before you'll be able to get PPP to work.
