Hello, Upon returning home from a trip, my slink box is no longer able to connect to my ISP. Up until the time I left, it had been working fine. I was even able to telnet (ssh) into the system for the first few days I was away.
Fortunately/unfortunately, my win95 system is able to connect as before, with no problem. Here is a snippet from /var/log/ppp.log: Sep 29 19:11:56 champagne chat[27653]: expect (CONNECT) Sep 29 19:11:56 champagne chat[27653]: ^M Sep 29 19:12:16 champagne chat[27653]: ATDT9494614^M^M Sep 29 19:12:16 champagne chat[27653]: CONNECT Sep 29 19:12:16 champagne chat[27653]: -- got it Sep 29 19:12:16 champagne chat[27653]: send (\d) Sep 29 19:12:17 champagne pppd[27652]: Serial connection established.

Sep 29 19:12:48 champagne pppd[27652]: Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean: Sep 29 19:12:48 champagne pppd[27652]: Problem: all had even parity Sep 29 19:12:48 champagne pppd[27652]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Sep 29 19:12:48 champagne pppd[27652]: Exit. My ISP has me connect through a Compuserve access number because they have none of their own in my local calling area. I suspect that something has changed at the Compuserve end of the line while I was away, and that this thing is something that MS DUN can deal with automatically, but which must be configured manually in linux. I further suspect that some change was made in the parity setting, as indicated by /var/log/ppp.log. Which file must I edit in order to get ppp to work with even parity? Is this some thing that can be fixed by editing my modems initialization string, or must I edit some other configuration file? Please enlighten me. Thanks. P.S.
