I want to set up a dial-up PPP server using linux. I've done this many times before and have set of config files for mgetty and ppp that work. I'm having some trouble with with a new install using a winmodem (I've always used "real" hardware based modems in the past). I've got a PC with a "Winmodem" installed in it. It uses a PCTEL chipset and I've been able to find a linux driver for it. I can talk to the modem just fine with minicom and mgetty seems to handle it as well. ie. It answers incoming calls, hangs up and restarts fine, the modem even seems to be connecting. The problem occurs when pppd is started (via mgetty's AUTO_PPP feature). It starts, then complains about an LCP timeout. Attached is an excerpt from the server's /var/log/messages file. When I attach a hardware modem to the server's ttyS0 and make the appropriate adjustments the configuration files (ttyS0 in place of ttyS15 which is what the winmodem shows up as) it works fine. I'm wondering if there is some peculiarity with the winmodem that can be ameliorated with one of the pppd daemon's options. Anyone? -- ____ __ | 0|___||. Andrew Gaunt *nix Sys.
