I am trying to connect to an unconventional device that uses a dial-up
via direct-serial port. The problem is that when using KPPP and wvdial
I can connect but I lose my connection before authentication. I
believe the reason for this is that I am not getting a recognizable
"CONNECT" string, so PPPD does not know when to autheticate via CHAP.
I need to send the CHAP authentication immediately when I start seeing
data come through (even though no connect string comes in).
The output I get from WVDIAL is as follows
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.41
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: AT+WS45=4
AT+WS45=4
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT 123
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT 123
[06]
NO CARRIER
--> No Carrier! Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDT 123
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT 123
This works fine in Windows Dial-up and I did get a connections once
using KPPP. I am not so familiar with PPPD scripts so I don't know how
to write one to authenticate upon a connection.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
