Maybe I'm not getting it right, but I went to your information and built
the files. I did the ifup ppp0 and it dialed. I did the ifdown ppp0
and it disconnected. I then made chat-isp and modified the options
files. I also made the isp file in peers. When I tried to invoke pppd
call isp, nothing. I went back and verified all the files, quotes, etc
were correct. The only thing I can think of is that the modem string is
bad? I deleted most of the modem string leaving in only the basics for
it and still, nothing. I would think it would at least make the little
lights go blinky-blinky. Nothing still.
Suggestions?
I'm using a U. S. Robotics 33.6 external device. KPPP will dial, but
get the standard "device exploded" messages everyone else seems to be
getting. On that subject, I've been able to get rid of the error
message and convert the string from gibberish, but that's about it in
KPPP. I'd love to see a resolution to my little problem. If not, then
I think I'll try qppp or some other dialing program. Prefer yours since
it's a "fix" rather than simply side stepping the KPPP dialer entirely.
Thanks, I'll be unable to respond after Thursday for a week, out of the
country on a work trip.
Oh, I agree, adding it to or making a new "HOW TO" with this and
examples would be teriffic.
See ya'
