Hi Alan, Great perseverance
try commenting out one or the other and see what happens - ie so you can identify which line is causing the problem - could be as simple as a non printing character that has accidently ended up in a line. The pid is a processIdentifier - every running process is alocated a pid - with out knowing the name of the process it is almost meanless. Out of interest from the command line run ps -A And you will see every process running on your box Maurice -----Original Message----- From: Alan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 29 August 2006 5:55 p.m. To: Linux Group Subject: re:Modem Strings Double checked both secrets and all lines other than the log in name and password line are commented out. Now both the lcp-max-configure and lcp-max failure lines were commented out I removed the comment and inserted both and left at the default value which is 10 for both. tried a call with wvdial immediately after connect it crashed out with an error 2 if it means anything it said Pid of 5484 and second go was Pid of 6050 Now I am assuming that as I altered nothing eles these two lcp commands must be clashing with each other or some other command that is already in the options file to produce the error 2????
