Hello,

I've been pulling my hair out trying to get pppd and kppp working together.

I've now got it as far as dialing and trying to Login to the ISP's Network
but the following error is reported in /var/log/messages:

pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Connection terminated
ioctl(TIOCNXCL): I/O error
Exit.

My pppd timeout in kppp is set to 90 seconds, and my modem timeout is set to
120 seconds.

My modem is a US Robotics 33.6 VoiceModem. I have been unable to find any
standard init strings for the USR 33.6 so I don't know where to begin. I've
set my Init Delay to 3, and my Guard Time to 5.

If I dial from a Windows session everything is fine, so I'm unsure where my
error could be.

I've ensured that the /etc/ppp/options file is empty, and that
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets contains the appropriate parameters, and that the PPP
arguments in kppp have been set according to the instructions in the kppp
help file.

Thanks for all help.

Brian Armstrong.

PS. My SUSE version is 5.3.
