Hi all,
In the middle of a procrastination-induced bedroom rearrangement, I
decided to try getting my reliable old 486 to dial up properly.
Sadly, it's a very confused little creature.
It's running RedHat 6.0, and kernel 2.2.14
When issuing "ifup ppp0", the modem lights flash and finally rest
with the three usual lights on (HS, MR and PW), plus the DTR light.
It stays like this for a while, until the connection attempt times
out. It doesn't even get to the dialtone.
The same modem works fine on my chunky machine, so I thought
duplicating the setup might work. I copied (and set correct
permissions on) /etc/ppp/* and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*ppp*
but still to no avail. Same results - the DTR light goes on and
times out.
I forgot to grab a tail of the log file before I swapped the modem
back to this machine, but it really didn't say too much beyond
"Well, that mustn't have worked".
There's essentially no difference between the setups (serial ports,
etc). The kernel config is based on the same file, too. I'm using a
simple ATZ for the init string.
Any ideas?
Jeff
