HI, I'm running Win98SE on one physical drive and RH6.2 on the other. I
have a winmodem for the former and have connected a Damond SupraExpress 56e
PRO modem to COM1 and via double socket adaptor with winmodem to the
telephone connection.
I have configured the SupraExpress modem via instructions in Harold Davis'
"Visual QuickPro Guide; Red Hat Linux" (Peachpit Press, 1999), pages
65-71, in what seems to be the correct way and when I type
/sbin/ifup ppp0
in the terminal window the SupraExpress dials in correctly, gives a
connected tone - and then disconnects. It repeats this until I disconnect
it via '/sbin/ifdown ppp0' or manually. I have noted than when apparently
connected the SD and RD lights are off.
The only difference from the usual winmodem dialup to Primus seems to be
the login script: Win98/SE and winmodem require manual input of the
password while RH6.2 includes the password as part of configuration. I have
tried reconfiguring without the password but nothing changes - it behaves
as described above.
I'm at a loss at 2.50 AM and would welcome any suggestions.
Hopefully,
Adam Bogacki.
