Re to the list from myself. A little more investigating and we got her up
and running. Took a gander at the string the Win9x box was sending to the TA
and used that. Under dialup networking, properties, configure, connections,
advanced, view log. Cut and past from there. This also worked for the USR
sportster 56K modem.



Have a 3com Impact IQ ISDN TA. Has been flashed to a IDSL TA. Have
ShareTheNet up and running. Can use the Web based admin.  If you already can
not tell I am a Linux newbie. Can not get it to connect to the IDSL TA. The
IDSL works fine in Win9x.

I see in the Alt F2 screen the existing script is failing. Following is the
proper commands for the IDSL TA in Linux. Where and how do I enter these
into the script in ShareTheNet to initate my TA.

Here is a linux setup for dsl and the 3com:
--------------------------
/etc/ppp/options file:

lock
persist
modem
user <username>
115200
/dev/ttyS0
defaultroute
crtscts
noipdefault
connect /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
--------------------------
/etc/ppp/ppp-on:
#!/bin/sh
#
exec /usr/sbin/pppd
--------------------------
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:

# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client  server  secret  addresses
* <username> <password> *
--------------------------
/etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer:

exec chat -v                                            \
        ABORT           "NO DIALTONE"                   \
        TIMEOUT         3                               \
        ''              \rAT                            \
        'OK-+++\c-OK'   ATH0                            \
        TIMEOUT         30                              \
        OK              ATDT" "                 \
        CONNECT

I used the sample scripts that come with pppd to set this up.
Put the /etc/ppp/ppp-on script in your rc.local file and it will start
on boot. The persist option should keep the line up. Unfortunately, the
3com is not good at reporting problems with the line. If the dsl line
drops, the computer may not ever find out. Other dsl equipment is better
about this. On the flip side, I've pulled the dsl line out of a 3com and
put it back in a minute later and the computer never noticed (other than
maybe timing out on a particular transfer.)
