pppd and Debian...

[Piotr Małecki]

I have a problem . My modem is detected by Linux, but when
I try to connect by wvdial, this message is shown on console:



debian:~# wvdial

--> Initializing modem.

and so on, but I'm not going to paste.

By kppp I also cannot connect, message show me that pppd has suddenly
finished its operation or something like that

In file /var/log/message (or /var/log/messages - I don't remember now
- but you know what I mean) I have this:


Aug 24 00:50:29 debian pppd[378]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0

File /etc/ppp/options is that:


asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
noauth
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx



And file /etc/wvdial.conf is:


[Dialer Defaults]
Phone = 8861122
Username = ppp
Password = ppp
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/modem
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem


Maybe someone can help me ? I want to connect to Internet on Debian -
on Red Hat were not any problems ...

Thanks for any help.

ppp

It is you who is sending the `ppp' string, isn't it? Perhaps this is
not the correct reply? Can you try dialing with minicom and post the
transcript here?
