Your comments about ISP text messages are on target. You've fired up pppd
after your chat script, but the ISP is still sending text ("all had bit 7
set to 0"). Perhaps your chat script forgot to send a command to begin
PPP on the ISP end?
Your working Win98 config may have the appropriate script/login sequence
already (particularly if it was setup from a disk provided by the ISP).
BTW, it's better to use /dev/ttyS3 in place of /dev/cua3. The cua devices
are deprecated and support for them may disappear. Make sure that all of
your serial port programs use the same device to ensure that locks work
correctly. Also, the 'debug' option is sufficient to resolve most ppp
problems; 'kdebug' tends to clutter up the log and make it harder to spot
the problem. I suggest leaving 'kdebug' disabled unless 'debug' does not
provide sufficient information.
I suggest running minicom again, logging the session, and starting ppp at
the ISP manually (since the ISP supports shell, does it use a menu to
start PPP? Do you need secrets in pap-secrets?). Then, use that
information to review your chat script and configuration.
Good luck!
Wishing everyone on the list a Happy New Year!
