That's probably because it's PPP as some servers are setup not to send anything until it receive LCP packets. Try setting up the PPP link and use the passive option to initiate the conversation. thanks, George Vieira Network Administrator http://www.citadelcomputer.com.au PGP Fingerprint : 43DC 92AC 1A82 27B2 E97B 52F1 B60F 301A 38A9 A10C PGP KeyID: 0x38A9A10C -----Original Message----- From: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2000 12:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Probs dialling to mac ppp server Hi, I am attempting to dial into a mac PPP server from Linux. Using minicom, Linux seems to dial in, but a login prompt never appears, and the modem ends up hanging up after about 20 seconds. I can dial into the mac box from windows without trouble, but of course, I don't want to. This might be due to a problem in the implementation of PPP on the mac, that windows happens to support. Anyway, I've dialled into other PPP servers successfully before, but I have no luck between Linux and mac server. Any thoughts?
