Hi everybody, 'guess what. The ppp stuff I try doesn't work.... ;-) Ok, here's my story. It's somewhat lengthy - sorry for that. Any insights, comments, suggestions.... greatly appreciated. I try to dial up MCI's internet service under Redhat 4.0 using ppp and chat. Plainly spoken: I didn't get it to work and I don't know any more what to try. I tried to find out what their server wants to hear about three times but I don't get an answer to that from the MCI folks. They made a configuration script for SunLink PPP 3.0 available. But I think that's pretty expensive and there shouldn't be a need for it anyway. I tried: - the generic thing (case 1): after connect sent nothing, expect something and then send the login. Then let the password be handled via chap secrets. In that case the server sits there, says something about the transfer rates and stuff, then nothing any more and then runs on a time out because I guess chat is just waiting for something and nothing is happening on my side. - a somewhat less generic thing (case 2): after connect wait for nothing, just sent the login and hope that the password would be handled via chap secrets. I that case a lot more goes on, the machines seem to talk fine, but I just get an invalid login. - an even less generic thing (case 3): not sent anything with chat any more after connect. And just put the password into the chap secrets. Basically the same as under case 2 happens with a minor change in ppp-log - suddenly a machine name turns up in ppp-log. The stuff from messages and ppp-log is below. Again any hints welcome thanks for your thoughts and time Ciao Joerg Now here's all the rest of the info....: It has to be said the setup worked under linux for dialing up ATT's internet service. It dials fine into MCI under win 95 (without all their software; just with configuring the win 95 stuff....) I use: pppd connect 'chat -v -f /etc/ppp/dial-MCI' The chat script: # ./etc/ppp/dial-MCI REPORT ppp REPORT chap REPORT name REPORT BREAK REPORT CONNECT REPORT 0206428103349422 '' AT OK ATE0V1 OK ATL0M0X4 OK ATZ OK ATDT4822900 CONNECT # Secrets for authentication using CHAP # client server secret IP addresses localhost * "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" The ppp options # /etc/ppp/options lock /dev/cua1 debug kdebug 9 modem crtscts noipdefault defaultroute -detach netmask 255.255.255.0 # /etc/hosts.conf order hosts bind multi on # /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 204.70.127.127 nameserver 204.70.127.128 nameserver search internetmci.com # /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 204.70.127.127 nameserver 204.70.127.128 case 1: messages Apr 29 01:03:21 localhost kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc.
