I doubt that your problem is related to the Luent chip It is most likly
your Authentication setting. Try changing it from PAP to CHAP and then
connect.

Subject: [newbie] Connection problems
Hi, Recently I installed Linux to find that I couldn't get on the net
because I had a winmodem, so I bought a Viking Components 56k External
modem(It's serial too, not USB) When I use Kppp to set everything up, the
modem is detected and I know it works right. I have all my personal
connection information entered... I have the DNS info entered, domain name,
etc. When I connect, the modem does connect, though only for around 1
second and then it doesn't send or receive any data. I called my ISP and
FINALLY got someone who knew something about Linux, he told me that he heard
about people with Lucent modems(my Viking modem) having problems connecting
to the internet. Does anyone have any idea what my problem is?
Thanks,
Tanner Holloway
