I'm finally able to use both kppp and wvdial successfully with my USR
Sportster Flash modem (v90) but its really bugging me that I am totally
unable to get CHAT to work...
When I run chat, and believe me I've tried just about every INIT string I
can think of, I get zero reaction from the modem - no blinking of lights or
result codes - and chat just times-out....
But it occurs to me - how does chat know which port to address?? (cos' I
think maybe it doesn't??) Does it simply use /dev/modem or what? There
is nothing In can find in the man page - on the USR site - or in the serial
or PPP Howto's. All the documentation I've seen seems to assume that if
you can dial-out okay using minicom or kermit, then chat must work too...
Minicom works 100% - and even if I use it to initialise the modem, then exit
minicom without resetting, chat still fails.
Is anyone able to throw some light on this please?? I've wasted days
fiddling with this and hate to be defeated!
Thanks
