I get the following error when trying to inilize a ppp conection from my lap
top:
/usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system (bis) is required to authenticate itself but
I
/usr/sbin/pppd: couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to
do so.
bis: pppd failure at 04:09PM Thu Mar 16, 2000
the command line I use is:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 19200 connect '/usr/bin/eznet chat 0' lock modem mtu
552 mru 552 debug crtscts -detach idle 120 user root remotename bis
The 'eznet chat 0' part is a chat script put together by the program eznet.
This all works perfectly on my desktop using a USR sportster modem. I am using
RH 6.0 on both machines with pppd 2.3.
I can dial out using minicom and connect to the remote site on the lap top,
but not using eznet and pppd.
Any ideas, oh, BTW it's a Xircom PC card Modem, but as I said it works fine
with minicom.
