 Hello Support: This is my second time requesting this.Its been almost 48 hours now. Are you all supporting this product or not?I just purchased Linux Mandrake 7.0 from Best Buy, OS installed great, however, I am experiencing the following when trying to dial-up with my modem. Almost I spoke with my ISP, who said they do not support LCP extentions. 
    When trying to get a network connection going with pppd/chat, the
    chat script finishes, but then pppd fails every time with:

...pppd[1683]: Serial connection established.
...pppd[1683]: Using interface ppp0
...pppd[1683]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS2
...pppd[1683]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
...pppd[1683]: Connection terminated.
...pppd[1683]: Received serial link is not 8-bit clean:
...pppd[1683]: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0
...pppd[1683]: Exit.

What can I do about this? Help please!

Thanks,John F. McClinton


I don't know if my answer will solve your ISP connection problem. I am just trying to help. The had a very hard time setting up my first modem connecting to my university ISP. I got something similar to what you had, e.g., LCP: timeout sending.... all had bit 7 set to 0. I still don't fully understand the problem, but I found out the chat script I used had something wrong after I looked the dial-up scripts on Windows NT. OK, here is my case:
my school ISP used a login dailogue like:
          username: XXXX
          password: XXXX

but my original chat script used something like:

        login: XXXX
        password: XXXX
After made a change from login to username, the connection was good.
