|Well, here it goes -
|
|We are trying to dial-up to an ISP from a remote location where the
|telephone system is pulse dialing (I am told the switching system used is
|C-DOT, whatever that means). Whereas on the city where the ISP is, the
|system is dial tone.
The C-DOT exchange are quite new technology compared to cross bar.
|
|I am first trying to connect from minicom and have failed to get a stable
|connect.
|
|Now when we dial (pulse dial) the modem most of the time does not detect
|dial-tone, or when it does detect and dials, connection is not established
|or if connection is established, I get the ISP login prompt rarely and most
|of the time I get lot of garbages. I changed terminal settings and it
|doesn't seem to help. When I do get login prompt and login successfuly
|(rarely), the connection is lost or PPP doesn't start properly.
|
|All these problem are present only from there. So I guess the problems may
|be related to line quality.
Your problem is due to line quality only.
Please check wire joints ( to the extent possible) in telephone line and
avoid if possible.
Use lower connect speed.
|
|Any suggestion to improve connection is greatly appreciated.
|
If you are using only mail, try using uucp, its better for bad lines.
