Hello,
I had a power outage yesterday morning, my leaf box wasn't affected because it's on a UPS. However my external modem is connected to the surge protector part of the UPS, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working. It was working fine prior to the power outage.
I've seen this happen when a power surge travels across the phone line and fries the modem from there rather than from the power connector.
You can get a 25pin-9pin converter for a few dollars. That's your best bet to try the modem to see if it works still.
Don't know about your ppp0 question.
good luck, Matt
I've plugged the modem in & the power light comes on. When I reboot the leaf box, during POST 2 lights flash - Auto Answer & Carrier Detect if I remember correctly. After that I get nothing. Typing 'pon' which should dial the modem doesn't do anything, however when checking /var/log/ppp.log it lists 'date time firewall chat[18478]:' on each line then -
abort on (BUSY) abort on (NO CARRIER) abort on (VOICE) abort on (NO DIALTONE) abort on (NO ANSWER) send (ATZ^M) expect (OK) ATZ^M^M ERROR^M
is there any way to figure out whether ppp0 is pointing to the wrong place or determine whether nothing is being sent to the modem or not? I'd hook the modem up to another computer, but the only one with a wide COM port is another linux box & I'm unsure how to set that up either.
any ideas or help would be appreciated
Patrick
