How to decypher dialupscript
Where can I get a list of explanation of the messages the dial up window gives you in kppp ?
John
Not sure of what kppp prints since I don't use it, but V90 and older modems use the Hayes command set (i.e. AT commands), you can find explanation for example here:

Much obliged Raffaele,that was what I'm looking for, though I still have a few lines unexplained, this is what I'm getting after a particular recurrence like this, kppp logs on and emails download,
then halfway through the process my ISP seems to cut me off, this causes kppp to redial with this error message,
ATZ OK AT &F1 &V1 TERMINATION REASON.......... NONE LAST TX rate................ N/A HIGHEST TX rate............. 300 BPS LAST RX rate................ N/A HIGHEST RX rate............. 300 BPS PROTOCOL.................... N/A COMPRESSION................. N/A Line QUALITY................ 255 Rx LEVEL.................... 214 Highest Rx State............ 00 Highest TX State............ 00 EQM Sum..................... FFFF RBS Pattern................. FF Rate Drop................... FF Digital Loss................ FFFF Local Rtrn Count............ 00 Remote Rtrn Count........... 00 V90
OK ATM1L1 OK ATDT147008089916080 NO CARRIER
Question is why no carrier ?
Immediately I redial she logs on as usual.
This has now become a pattern.
I don't understand the scale of report in the "F's" and the numbers, like Line QUALITY...... 255, is that good bad or indifferent.
All my searches in google have come up with no detailed explanation, and although your suggestion is very helpful it isn't complete, as far as I can see.
The basic questions I need answering are,
Am I being cut off because my ISP is overloaded and needs to make room for others,
Am I being cut off because of line quality or modem config.
Am I being cut off because of software like guarddog(don't think so, but I'm not sure) etc.
Or what ?

John,
Judging by your email address, you're using Wanadoo - formerly known as Freeserve - as your ISP.
I've noticed a considerable deterioration in their service since the rebranding. Although I pay for the "Anytime" package (unlimited access, but limited to 2-hour sessions), the connection often drops before the 2-hour limit is up, and sometimes it takes several attempts to get reconnected. This makes downloading my Mdk updates a complete nightmare!
So, although it is worth checking that everything else is working OK, it's probably a Wanadoo problem.

I'm aware wanadoo ( some wag has already christened it can na doo) is a lousy service. But I'm not so sure it's the problem , got a feeling it's somthing to do with kppp and the config, or maybe my OS.
You see I've another computer with an old MD8.1 on it and the same characteristic does not happen. That is a dialing up and into and retrieval of emails, followed by a premature cutoff before completion, kppp redials ending in no carrier, then, I manually restart to a smooth loggin again.
Yes of course I get cut off, Wanadoo is a lousy service, but then they all are, it's just it's probably the least likely to fold of the dialup merchants here in the UK.
So if MD8.1 can download emails without being cut off half way through , why cannot MD10.0CE ?
So I'm a bit doubtful.
I'm often complaining to wanadoo, for one thing they change their phone number more often than I have hot dinners. This suggests to me too little kit to service the demand, but before I do battle yet again, I'd like to be sure of my facts, that is one reason whyi supplied the kpp dialup script. I cannot find a good description of all pieces of script, some is pretty obvious, but then again it often ends in a letter or number and unless you know the scale to refer these to it's pretty meaningless.
I've found a kppp manual on the web, but here again no reference to the bits I want.
I would of thought there must be a definition somewhere. Just got to keep looking.
John
