Very Computer

I have a Rockwell modem (yes it's a winmodem), and I'm
running the HSF driver from www.mbsi.ca/cnxtilndrw. Now, the modem
seams to be running fine (though I suspect the winmodem is the
trouble maker here), but when I try dialing up I get the exit code
127 right after starting the pppd deamon (see exsact output below).
I use ppp-2.4.1 (remake 3 for RH, though I'm actually on a slackware
box).

I've read the PPP-Howto, Linmodem Howto and the Conextangt+Rockwell
Howto, but no luck there. I've also greped through the PPP-FAQ for
exit code 127 and various other search words, but no luck there
either. A quick google search didn't make me any wiser as well.

This is the output from running WvDial:
-----------------------------------------
     --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.41
     --> Initializing modem.
     --> Sending: ATZ

     --> Disconnecting at Mon Jul 29 18:50:40 2002
     --> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
     --> pppd error!  Look at files in /var/log for an explanation.
--------------------------------------------
And when I tried using Kppp I got the same error:
 PPP deamon has died! (exit code = 127).
--------------------------------------------

The pppd man page contains info on exit codes from 0-19, not 127. And a
grep through /var/log for ppp didn't give me any valuable info.

So if anyone can give me a clue as to where I could countinue my search
or knows what exit code 127 means then please let me know.

Thank you for your time - Rune Nesheim(r.nesheim.c2i.net).

When I had a similar problem I found that pppd timeout was set to zero seconds.
When I changed it to 30 secs the problem disappeared.  Check modem timeout and
modem busy wait settings too.  Hope it works for you.

Exit code 127.   This may be nonsense but for a modem output in digits;
     1   =   connect
     2   =   received incoming ring
     7   =   busy signal
Hence  127 could be a list of what has happened prior to shutdown.
