Any help / comments most welcome! I had this working once (last year)...
Can anybody make helpful suggestions how to get this config to work?
Everything tests ok at miniterm - ie I can log in manually fine with
settings below. Their Server returns 'Your IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
(xxx varies due to dynamic allocation on each dialup, so I use auto IP
address configuration option with *this string* as PPP IP address header.
The output from PPP log looks like this (below) : Thing is, I clearly see IP
address put on screen after manual login. Without leaving miniterm (Alt-P or
F7), PPP starts at their end - lines of gibberish characters being sent, so
I exit minicom - should then use settings for PPP, but notice no IP address
has been returned after exit from miniterm.
A brief message flashes up saying 'Invalid com address', (only just able to
catch it before PPP error ocurs)...even though that address is set above in
the freeserve.cfg file used for this profile. Don't normally have a problem
with modem in Win95, & I'm sure the settings for it are OK as it dials out
(Same settings are used for Linux ok).
It could be a problem with incompatible (and *different*) base address being
used by PPP for modem? Can't find the cfg-type file for PPP containing these
values, & I thought arachne passed them to PPP via its own cfg,
so...(arachne.cfg file excerpt is below PPP file)...
