Re: pppd complains link isn't 8-bit clean!

1997-12-06 Thread Jaakko Niemi
 Hi,
 
 A friend and I have been having problems getting ppp to work on his
 laptop.  Everything works with the chat script until just after ppp is
 engaged.  Then it complains as follows.
 
 pppd Serial connection established
 Using interface ppp0
 Connect:ppp0 - /dev/ttyS1
 LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
 Connection terminated.
 Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean:
 Problem: all has bit 7 set to 0
 
 I've tried connecting with ppp from windows 95 on the same machine with
 the same modem etc, and it all works fine, so it would seem the problem is
 something to do with the debian setup.  The only thing I can think of is
 interrupts, but I have looked at /proc/interrupts and it seems okay - but
 perhaps this doesn't tell the whole story???

 Set Asyncmap to 0 in ppp settings.

Hi.

This has nothing to do with interrrupts. The problem here is that ppp is
not started on remote side and still trying to communicate with you via
human-readable ascii (that's the origin of 8-bit unclean). Try to connect
to the peer using minicom, login mannualy and start ppp by either typing
ppp or something like that. When you see garbage on the screen - you are
done! Just remember what you did and edit your /etc/ppp.chatscript
accordingly.

Alex Y.

Look at your chat script. Test its workings by using minicom, cu, 
seyon, or some other terminal program to manually dial in. Just
because you get 'Connect: ppp0 - /dev/ttyS1' doesn't mean that
your connect script worked. It simply means that your connect script
*thinks* that it worked. Think about what the error message is telling
you: pppd never received an LCP packet which infers that ppp was
never started and also that 'all has bit 7 set to 0'. Now, what sort
of characters always have bit 7 set to 0. Answer: printable ASCII
characters (as well as a few unprintable ones). This should generally
suggest to you that the system on the other end is still sending you
some kind of prompt. Check it out, this is most likely the solution.
