Hi Steve, Yes it is on ttys0, and I can hear the modem negotiate the connection. It then connects, and falls over at the exchange of user names and password. As this is a dual boot system, I know that the issue is not name/password, as they are the same for both systems, as is of course the isp phone numer.
it seems to be something in the exchange of username or password that xtra is not acknowledging under hardy 8.04, but is under xp pro The ppp log reports "looks like a keyword", and then crash. times out or terminates I am no completely sure which. I will attach the tail of the ppp log to an email tomorrow and see if you can pick anything up. The machine is an IBM p4 for what that is worth, with an ibm motherboard. This modem I also use on my laptop as ttyUSB0 and I have used it on several ubuntu dual boot systems with out an issue. I tried wvdial, with the same result. All help gratefully received.
