by Hope someone can point me in the right direction as this is driving me
quietly crazy !
Having attempted to use the HOWTO docs and set up ppp I got stuck as pppd
simple would not establish a connection.
Gave up and downloaded ezppp. This seemed very easy to set up and run.
So...
Have cleared out /etc/ppp/options as instructed, set up the account details
( I am *trying* to connect to * net )
So we have *.net as domain, 194.168.4.10 as the nameservers.
Have added username and remotehost bitz for PAP as in instructions.
Fire it up - connects ... and dies.
Get a message on console "pppd really died" !!
Also get the following in /var/log/message :
Feb 27 20:29:35 Linux pppd[1309]: pppd 2.3.3 started by root, uid 0
Feb 27 20:29:35 Linux pppd[1309]: Using interface ppp0
Feb 27 20:29:35 Linux pppd[1309]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua1
Feb 27 20:29:37 Linux pppd[1309]: Modem hangup
Feb 27 20:29:37 Linux pppd[1309]: Connection terminated.
Feb 27 20:29:38 Linux pppd[1309]: Exit.
Wondrous !
What is going wrong ???
PLEASE !!!
