Have you tried upgrading to the latest pppd? I had to upgrade to
get this thing to work right with Prodigy/splitrock.
A setup that worked flawlessly for me:
/etc/ppp/peers/splitrock:
----
demand
asyncmap 0
/dev/ttyS1
115200
usepeerdns
crtscts
defaultroute
name your-login
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/splitrock.chat'
/etc/ppp/splitrock.chat
----
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT "BUSY"
ABORT "NO ANSWER"
"" "AT&F"
OK "ATW1"
OK "ATDT 857-4049"
CONNECT ""
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
----
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses
your-login * "yourpass" *
/etc/ppp/ip-up - runs nsupdate to point a hostname to this IP
each time the link is brought up.
To dial the ISP the first time, I simply typed "pppd call splitrock" -
pppd would bring a link up and then perform demand dialing for subsequent
requests after the link was killed (idle timeout) by Prodigy.
Hope that helps.
