I am currently trying to set up a WinBond 6692 modem to answer do channels of an
ISDN line and do MPPP under Red Hat Linux 6.1
I have got this sort of working now. ipppd answers on ippp0, and if I turn off
authentication
everything works fine (one channel only). However when I turn on authentication, ipppd
reports a PAP
authentication failure. It shows the right username was being attempted to be used, but
authentication failed. I have a line
in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets which says
user14 * * 192.168.1.13
so that the right ip is assigned, and user14 exists in /etc/passwd with a valid
password assigned.
What could be the cause of this?
The other problem I have is that the isdn card does not seem to answer unless I put in
the
configuration
isdnctrl eaz ippp0 myphonenumber
If I put in a second line
isdnctrl eaz ippp1 myphonenumber
then it doesn't answer at all. However if I put in
isdnctrl eaz ippp0 myphonenumber
isdnctrl eaz ippp1 someothernumber
then the second channel doesn't answer. All other settings on ippp1 are the same as
ippp0
What could be the cause of this? How can I make the second channel answer.
Thanks in advance,
Nicholas Waltham
