If you examine /var/log/messages, look for lines like the following: Jan 4 22:31:55 goober chat[2710]: CONNECT 57600^M Jan 4 22:31:57 goober chat[2710]: ^M Jan 4 22:31:57 goober chat[2710]: host -- got it Jan 4 22:31:57 goober chat[2710]: send (ns^M) Jan 4 22:31:57 goober chat[2710]: expect (ogin) Jan 4 22:31:57 goober chat[2710]: : ns^M Jan 4 22:31:57 goober chat[2710]: login -- got it Jan 4 22:31:57 goober chat[2710]: send (ncutler^M) Jan 4 22:31:58 goober chat[2710]: expect (word) Jan 4 22:31:58 goober chat[2710]: :ncutler^M Jan 4 22:31:58 goober chat[2710]: Password -- got it Jan 4 22:31:58 goober chat[2710]: send (??)

But the equivalent lines on yours should help you track down the cause of the problem. HTH -- Nathan L.

Eddie, Well, yes, very likely, the option file is the key. Make sure it is set for r ts/cts and not xon/xoff flow control. The option file also has about a bazillion options f or the control of the LCP or IPCP processes themselves. You should check your messages file (/var/log/messages) by using tail /var/log/messages right after trying a connect. There you should see a more descriptive (hopefully) reason the modems are hangin g up. It could be your option file is set for PAP or CHAP and your ISP isn't, or whatever. In my case, I have a chatscript set up that logs me in and starts the PPP sessio n. It is called from the option file itself. After starting PPP up the chatscript ret urns to the option file where the actual LCP and IPCP negotiations are controlled. If you a re by chance not using rts/cts, you may see LCP timeouts in the messages file, and that would be the reason the line hangs up. If LCP cannot establish the proper contr ol over the link, nothing else happens, so it hangs up the line right now! :) Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
