When I had netcom and mindspring as ISP's I often got the Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean: error. After many, many complaints they would fix it. Would work for week or months and then re-appear. They never told me what they had fixed. That was with me using Slackware, SuSe, Debian 1.3, 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2, with the same ppp-up script. Since changing to my current ISP I have not had that problem, at all. It was never a Linux problem. HTH -- What boots up must come down. ___

I had this stupid pain in the ass problem also. It seems that /etc/serial.conf sets your ttyS1 as a 16450 instead of 16550A. Change the entry in /etc/serial.conf reguarding ttyS1 to 16550A. I don't know why it does that. But it took me a week to debug that stupid stuff. It never donned on me to check something like that. Finally I just did cat /etc/*|grep ttyS1. The rest is history. --Ian Ehrenwald
Re: PPP problems on potato
I'm not an expert on this bit I have an idea... Nov 17 21:29:14 debian pppd[137]: Serial connection established. Nov 17 21:29:14 debian pppd[137]: Using interface ppp0 Nov 17 21:29:14 debian pppd[137]: Connect: ppp0 -- /dev/ttyS1 Nov 17 21:29:46 debian pppd[137]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Here the error starts, the next line drops your connection. Nov 17 21:29:46 debian pppd[137]: Connection terminated. Nov 17 21:29:46 debian pppd[137]: Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean: Nov 17 21:29:46 debian pppd[137]: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0 Nov 17 21:29:47 debian pppd[137]: Exit. Your link expects probably an 8N1 setting but finds a 7 somthing setting. Again I'm not an expert on this... What do these lines mean? How can they be corrected? Did someone experience the same difficulties on potato installation? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Rickie

Did someone experience the same difficulties on potato installation? I get these occasionally. AFAICT, it is the result of the ppp negotiation with your ISP failing. It could very well indicate a problem at the ISP end of the link, however. Bob -- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
PPP problems on potato
I have Debian slink (2.1) installed on my machine with no problems related to the Internet connection. The other day I got the unstable potato release and tried to install it onto another partition of my hard drive. Okay, the base system installation succeed. On the other hand, I wasn't able to make it connected to the ISP. I suppose there is something wrong with the routing table. Before connecting, I typed the command 'netstat -nr' at the prompt: # netstat -nr Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irttIface I realised none line was shown in the table. Using the older release I usually got something like: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irttIface 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo Besides that from the 'pppd' command I got the following message: #pppd The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I couln't find any secret (password) wich would let it use an IP address. Afterwards I decided finally trying to connecting the modem using the 'pon' command. It took about 30 seconds to the connection finished suddenly. The output from /var/log /messages file was: Nov 17 21:28:54 debian pppd[137]: pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid 0 Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: abort on (BUSY) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: abort on (NO CARRIER) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: abort on (VOICE) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: abort on (NO DIALTONE) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: abort on (NO DIAL TONE) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: abort on (NO ANSWER) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: send (ATZ^M) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: expect (OK) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: ATZ^M^M Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: OK Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: -- got it Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: send (ATDT58742000^M) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: expect (CONNECT) Nov 17 21:28:55 debian chat[138]: ^M Nov 17 21:29:13 debian chat[138]: ATDT58742000^M^M Nov 17 21:29:13 debian chat[138]: CONNECT Nov 17 21:29:13 debian chat[138]: -- got it Nov 17 21:29:13 debian chat[138]: send (\d) Nov 17 21:29:14 debian pppd[137]: Serial connection established.
