Well, here are more details. The problem system is using using RH6.1 and pppd
2.3.10. The system that works right is RH6.0 w/ pppd 2.3.7. Does anyone know
of any bugs in the newer version of pppd?
To re-cap, I can connect to remote systems using minicom, so the modem is not
the problem. I get the following error when I try to use ppp.
/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
I have used eznet in the past, and it works great on my RH6.0 system. To
convince myself that that was not the problem I ran pppd from the command line
using my own chat script. Still same error.
the command line I use is:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 19200 connect '/usr/bin/chat -vf /etc/ppp/bis-chat'
lock modem mtu 552 mru 552 debug crtscts -detach idle 120 user root remotename
bis
bis-chat is (w/o password showing):
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
ABORT 'NO DIALTONE'
ABORT 'BUSY'
ABORT 'NO ANSWER'
ABORT 'ERROR'
"" ATZ
OK ATDT917012506654
CONNECT ""
ogin: root
assword: *******
$ ppp
any ideas?
