Very Computer

I have included a (relevant) clipping from syslog (/var/log/messages),
with kdebug set at 21, for pppd, below.  As you can see I am sending LCP
requests, and apparently not receiving anything back (or at least
nothing 8N1).  I spoke with my ISP, and all there modems are set to
8N1.  I have read all DOC I can find on this, and have troubleshot this
to the best of my ability.  I have recompiled to the newest stable
kernel.  I have tried every command line option that I have ever read
about that seems, even remotely, relevant.  I have even compiled a
kernel with a SLIP slip setting for 6-bit encapsulation, although I
doubt that that would be related to this problem.  All efforts have been
bitter failures.

I have 3 suspicions:

1.  The problem is caused because I have a p-n-p modem (although, I use
the BIOS setup utility to
     turn off p-n-p for my PC).  I saw a reference in here once about
"isapnptools".  Where would I
    go about finding these tools?

2.  Perhaps a problem with this version of pppd (2.0.0)?  I have not
upgraded to the newest version,
     because I have not yet given up on this one.

3.  My modem is simply not set at 8N1, when pppd gets control of it.
Are there any AT commands
     that I can use to set it?

I still cannot get logged on (modem connects, then just hangs up), but I am
sure it will just be a matter of time (or getting the right software), to fix
this problem.

Thanks, again,
