Very Computer

send (ATDT (my ISP's phone number here))
expect (CONNECT)
^M
alarm
Connect script failed
Failed
Exit

I hear the modem dialling in, go silent, and about 10 seconds later I get
the failure. Being that this is an external modem, I tried configuring it
with USR's http://www.usr.com/modem/documents/10563.htm None of this seemed
to make a difference. Any suggestions for a configuration?

Presently I have the dip switches configured as:

1 DTR normal
2 Verbal Result Codes
3 Display Result Codes
4 Echo offline commands
5 Auto answer off
6 Carrier detect normal
7 Load NVRAM defaults
8 Smart mode

I have tried init strings, but did get anywhere with those either. I'm using
RH6.0 kernel 2.2.5-15, and using Linuxconf to do my configurations.

Thanks in advance,
-Mike

The alarm is a timeout looking for the CONNECT string, so the modem didn't
send a CONNECT to the serial line or the CONNECT didn't get to the serial
line in time.  Posting the chat execution script and chat expect/send
script plus an exact copy of all the chat syslogd log messages complete
with timestamps might be useful.

: Is CONNECT something my ISP sends, or is that a message the modem returns to
: the script once it figures it has negotiated a connection?

The modem sends it once the negotiation is complete.
