-Hi there, I am trying to get my modem to communicate with -the one at work. Using dial-up networking from window$ -works, but it is pretty ennoying to reboot to -the window$ OS every time I need my modem.
-I read the Serial and PPP-HOWTO's as well as the PPP-over-minicom -mini-HOWTO. -I made sure my modem is configured as described in section 9.3 -of the PPP-HOWTO (these were default anyway). -The point where I get stuck each time is section 9.5, i.e. -testing the modem for dial out. -What happens is the following: -I start minicom, the modem initializes, I dial -my phone-number at work, and after some seconds, ... connection -is established. -As pointed out it is then question of finding -out what the ppp-host requires as login procedure. -The trouble is that I never receive any prompt, nor any other "funny -characters" as suggested in these HOWTO's. Basically nothing happens. -(Remark: I am almost sure that my corporate site uses PAP.) -I've already spend too much time on this, hope someone can put -me one the right track again, otherwise I will have to abandon -the idea. I had the same problem my first time with pppd, use +ua in pppd commad line -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
