Re: still configuring PPP :-(
Quoting Isabelle Poueriet ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hello everyone. I'm sorry to post this again, but I'm having new problem now. I made some changes to those files I sent before and now when I type pppd at the command prompt I get some garbage text on my screen, and after a little while(30 seconds or so) I get the prompt back.

I tried minicom -h but minicom is not in my system. I only have the base system installed. It's Debian 2.1 (Slink). I also tried wvdial. Not installed either. I'm eager to get Debian going. Please help. Thanks a million in advance.

I also installed wvdial and it searches for the modem in ttyS0 and ttyS1 but not in ttyS2, which where it is. This was tonight. On Friday it did look into ttyS0 - ttyS2. Don't know what happened now but I ran it several times and it only looks in 0 and 1. It finds nothing. Hint: on boot-up you will see some serial port info like: /dev/ttyS[0-4] I/O Address IRQ Number UART Type Yes, I do see this at bootup.

The USR 56K internal is a PNP modem (I'm using one at this time). You have 2 choices (I've had this one running using both methods). 1. Install the isapnp tools package and get it configured. (the kernel won't see this modem as a serial port if it's jumpered for pnp mode without doing this). I set my modem up this way originally, using com3 (/dev/ttyS2) with a non-standard IRQ. However, I installed so much neat hardware (junk) in this PC that I ran out of interrupts and decided to use method 2. -or- 2. Jumper the modem to disable pnp mode, then set the jumpers for the I/O port and IRQ you want to use. Done this way, the kernel will see it as a normal serial device, and you don't have to mess with the isapnp stuff. I changed my modem from com3 to com2, using IRQ3, and disabled the on-board com2 port in bios. The main problem with this method is you'll lose a serial port that you might be using for something else. (Note: you'll also have to change your setup in Win if you do this) I don't have my original isapnp.conf file, but I can help you get one set up if that's the way you want to go. Like I said, I'm jumping in late here, so you can ignore this post if you're already past this point.

Re: still configuring PPP :-(
Hello and thanks a million to those who have responded to my request for taking some of your precious time to help me out. I downloaded wvdial and minicom like some of you suggested and wvdial cannot find my modem. I sent a message to them like they suggested because I am 100% sure that my modem is in Com3. For some reason Linux is not detecting it in ttyS2. COM1 and COM3 typically share IRQ4, and COM2 and COM4 typically share IRQ3. If you look at the output of the dmesg command (dmesg | grep ttyS) soon after booting you should be able to see the Linux kernel's detection of these devices. I guess that Linux will have no problems with the modem in COM3. Certainly it handles multiport serial cards that share interrupts with no problems. Still, in your present predicament I would be trying the modem on ttyS0 or ttyS1. Maybe you can move your two other serial devices and give this a try.
Re: still configuring PPP :-(
And I think that sharing of IRQs by serial ports is a kernel config option. It may be that your particular kernel can't do it.

Re: still configuring PPP :-(
Hi Isabelle I had this error. I did not have the last line of my negotiation right. You will need to know what your isp expects to be told to start the negotiation to set up a ppp connection. If the ISP isn't sent the signal to commence negotiating, your ppp thinks the ISP isn't 8 bit clean, and gives up. It looks like you are very close. You will need to find some terminal emulation and talk to the isp directly to find what it expects. I had a copy of Liux Kermit stashed in my files, so I used that have that ftp site handy. I just looked it up, here is a url you may start from: http://www.cc.columbia.edu/kermit or maybe http://www.cc.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
