Yes, I did try wvdial in stupid mode, with the same result. No i did not think of sending the log file to the wvdial developers, but can soon arrange that. many thanks for your help.
As a sub side to this issue, the person involved decided to move to xtra broadband. Installed the supplied dsl modem A Thompson speedtouch 510. Once the modem had connected to the adsl and the telltale lights were correct, plugged the machine in with no further issues. The operating system is Ububtu hardy 8.04. At present everything is working correctly. Also this dsl modem works with Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10, on my HP Elitebook 8730, despite there being some network issues on this machine. just a matter of general information for anyone who has helped me in this matter. many thanks for all your help regards Chris Thomas On Mon, 2009-03-02 at 08:32 +1300, Volker Kuhlmann wrote: > On Sat 28 Feb 2009 09:34:18 NZDT +1300, Eliot Blennerhassett wrote: > > > Xtra's login prompts confuse wvdial and thus gnome-ppp. > > > > In Kppp setup choose Authentication: Script based > > for the script > > > > Expect ogin: > > Send <your username> > > Expect word: > > Send <your password> > > Expect ser: > > Send ppp > > Did you try wvdialin stupid mode with this?
