Your description of the failure is too vague for targeted advice. The general troubleshooting protocol here is: 1. Make sure your modem is where you think it is. If it's an external check which port it's plugged into. If it's internal, run "setserial /dev/modem" and make sure the response includes a UART type. 2. See if your modem will work with an ordinary terminal-style connection. Use minicom to test this. 3. See what pppd is writing to your logs about the attempts. The file used is a bit system dependent, buy probably it is /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog. None of this is specific to kppp (which I don't use). These are the "pre-kppp" issues to explore, the ones Cristian referred to in his message. At 09:29 PM 1/25/99 -0800, Mr Dom wrote: [deleted] >the book.
