Hi

Could you please help me. I am having trouble running "dip" on Linux patch
13. I'm trying to do is dial out with dip.

First:
Am I taking me dip problems to the right news group?

When I run the following script.

# Start of Script "x.dip"
main:
port cua1
speed 2400
reset # it does the same without reset
dial 555-1234
if $errlvl != 0 goto error
wait CONNECT 10
if $errlvl != 0 goto error
done:
print CONNECTED
goto exit
error:
print SLIP Failed
exit:
# End of Script

When I run ( dip -v x.dip ) I get

DIP: Dialup IP Protocol Driver version 3.2.0
Writen by Fed N. van Kempen, MicroWalt Corporation.

Quote:>> main:
>> port cua1

Set PORT to "cua1"
TTY= /dev/cua1 (4) BAUD -1 SPEED 13
CS = 8
PARITY = N
STOP = 1
IBUF = 1024 OBUF = 1024

Quote:>> speed 2400
Speed set to 2400
>> reset
>> dial 555-1234
>> if $errlvl != 0 goto error
>> wait CONNECT 10
>> if $errlvl != 0 goto error
>> print SLIP Failed
SLIP Failed
>> exit:

# end of out put

I know my modem and serial port work because I can dial out with "seyon" in X windows.

When I ran the above script the modem lights flashed on and off, so I know the serial port is
talking to the modem. ( the modem is a supra 2400 external)

And when I run the script

# Start of script
port cua1
speed 2400
send ATDT33884\r
# End of script

I get

DIP: Dialup IP Protocol Driver version 3.2.0
Writen by Fed N. van Kempen, MicroWalt Corporation.

Quote:>> port cua1

Set PORT to "cua1"
TTY= /dev/cua1 (4) BAUD -1 SPEED 13
CS = 8
PARITY = N
STOP = 1
IBUF = 1024 OBUF = 1024

Quote:>> speed 2400
Speed set to 2400
>> send ATDT33884\r

end of output

Again the modem lights flash and nothing happens.

I must be doing something wrong. Could you please help me.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This script lacks of some very important statements. Take a look at the
file "sample.dip". I think, you should also grab a new version of dip,
for example dip-3.3.7.strauss.tar.gz that may be found on FTP.Germany.EU.net.

[...]

You should increase the time for waiting for a CONNECTion. 10 seconds is too
short in many cases, at least here in Germany.

You should obviously take a look at dip's man page. In short terms: RTFM.
