When you manually log into your ISP, do you see them sending LCP packets
back to you to initiate a ppp connection? Just wondering if you have to
supply a special log-in name, or send a special character after logging
in, to start their PPP daemon. Or, they may automatically detect packets
from you requesting a PPP session.
Anyway, try turning on ppp logging. For starters, in your
/etc/ppp/options file, add a line with "debug" on it. For this to log
anything useful, your syslog daemon must be configured to log "debug"
messages. This is done by ensuring the following line is in your
/etc/syslog.conf file:
*.debug /var/log/debug
Then, restart your syslog daemon for this change to take effect.
This will now log interesting conversations between your pppd daemon and
your ISP's (assuming theirs is coming on line). It should show why they
may be hanging up on you. If your computer is accessable by anyone else
(locally or network), chmod the /var/log/debug file to "600" permissions
while you are debugging this; clean out it's contents when you are all
done. ppp will log things like your password.
If you need any assistance, feel free to send a copy of the logged results
to me. Please "xxx" any passwords that show up though.
